"Throughout the fifties and sixties, various experiments were conducted to study its practical uses; the C.I.A.’s notorious Project MKUltra explored the possibility that the drugs could be deployed for mind control."..

" the drug held great recreational appeal, as well, and the most famous figure to emerge during this period, Timothy Leary, would eventually leave academia—he had been the head of Harvard University’s short-lived Psilocybin Project—and become a prominent advocate for LSD."
"Inquiries into the drug’s therapeutic potential have had something of a resurgence lately, as Michael Pollan wrote about for this magazine last year; .. researchers in England released images of the neural activity of patients who were tripping on LSD."

"Reading history sometimes requires us to briefly pretend that we don’t know what happens next, so that we can genuinely grasp that another future was once possible. This is hard to do. A sadly ominous feeling descends, for instance, when
Jarnow describes a January, 1967, conference on psychedelics at San Francisco State University, which brought together scientists, therapists, and assorted idealists. The following year, LSD would be outlawed."
"Participants of this landmark psychedelic conference in San Francisco included experts such as Richard Evans Schultes and Robert Gordon Wasson, chemist Alexander Shulgin, Andrew Weil, Claudio Naranjo, Bo Holmstedt, &other pioneers of psychedelic science."
"It was the first time that a conference on the botany, chemistry, history & pharmacology of psychedelics had been held.
The symposium volume included chapters on the chemistry of ayahuasca by Deulofeu, the ethnography of its use & preparation by Taylor"

"“Our goal is to create a therapy model that can serve universally, with the intention and prayer to help people,” said Dr. Keren Tzarfaty, CEO and co-founder of MAPS Israel"

"The study comes as Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip continues, with nearly 30,000 Palestinians killed and allegations that Israel is engaged in a genocide. The deaths, as well as imminent famine, a collapsed medical system, are sure to leave extraordinary psychological trauma"..
"MAPS Israel’s planned therapeutic program would be one of the most high-profile studies in what is a burgeoning, global industry of psychedelic therapy research. MDMA is a stimulant, also known as ecstasy or molly, that sparks empathic feelings of love and openness,"
"Even the notoriously reticent U.S. government is opening to the field. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected to announce approval this year for using MDMA as a treatment combined with therapy for patients suffering from PTSD. "..🎶
"The Department of Veterans Affairs announced recently that it will also begin funding psychedelic-assisted therapy, and Congress passed legislation to research psychedelic treatments for active-duty military members."
"In a departure from most past MDMA studies, the Israeli patient groups — drawn from soldiers who were ambushed on October 7, festivalgoers from a hard-hit rave, and villagers who were attacked — will be dosed in small groups of around six." 🎶
"Tzarfaty, the MAPS Israel head, who was also a clinical investigator in other MDMA-assisted psychotherapy studies in Israel, said, “Trauma can take over on a personal and social level, if left unaddressed.”"
"Some of the survivors of the October 7 attack, the worst civilian massacre in Israel’s history, were at a music festival called Nova in the southern desert. Just 5 kilometers from the border with Gaza" 🎶
"During the surprise invasion at sunrise, Hamas militants streamed in on motorized paragliders and vehicles.. A survey suggests that more than half of the ravers were under the influence of psychedelics such as LSD and MDMA, as is typical at psytrance raves." 🤔
"Dr. Rick Doblin o..said that the study would serve as a seminal piece of research into whether psychedelic-assisted therapy can help large groups of traumatized people"
"“People who are traumatized during psychedelic experiences are imprinted at incredibly deep levels,” he said, referring to the music festival attendees.“While other therapies can be helpful, psychedelic therapy could offer unique and especially powerful healing potential.”"🤔
"Roy Salomon, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Haifa who has been supporting survivors ..and is now working on a study, said that little is known about how people traumatized while under the influence of psychedelics respond to treatment with psychedelics."
"Dr. Revital Amiaz, head of Sheba’s psychiatry dep't, which will treat the festivalgoers..,..“If we find a way to treat several patients at once it will help us to reach more people,” commenting on the group therapy protocol that could be trialed globally in Israel.
"The nature of the ongoing war could also pose challenges for the study participants’ healing processes, according to Leor Roseman, a neuroscientist at the University of Exeter who is working with a group of Palestinian and Israeli activists .."
