I thought this was interesting, although it's a little dry. Still, such studies legitimize the study of our sacred molecule.

Thanks for posting this. I find it interesting too. At the same time, I sometimes wonder whether it's really the studies that legitimize the molecule, or whether it's the long-standing relationships people have had with it that have inspired researchers to finally take it seriously.
You raise quite a valid point, Handshake and I share your trepidation. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about the medical & psychiatric industry controlling people's access to entheogenic medicines. Big pharma has one primary object and frankly, that is $$$ profits. But I also believe that for troubled souls moving beyond long standing traumas and psychological imbalances, and legitimizing of the sacred molecules is a step in the right direction. A friend of mine is a practicing psychologist who is trained in administering MDMA, psilocybin and most recently 5-MeO-DMT, and now offers sessions to his patients. But I do kind of object to those who've taken to this calling and practice, to require their patients to pay the exorbitant fees that anylists require, simply to experience the Divine and touch the infinite quintessence.
