I’m sure people on the fringes are doing great work but I’d love to see some of the support in academic and industrial chemistry thrown behind this type of work. We need to find a new way to live and psychedelics can be a big part of that.
I think what you say is relevant and given how many more people have done MDMA, magic mushrooms or LSD or are familiar with them its easier to do research rather than having to describe 2-C compounds and such.
