Dear friend,

Psychedelics are booming as a treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental illnesses. What are the benefits and risks of this new treatment? And where do frequent reports of spiritual experiences during psychedelics use fit in the picture?

Funders and political advocates have been enthusiastic, even evangelical, about the potential of psychedelics to reset neural processes and patterns of thinking that are often the root of mental health issues. Conversely, these are powerful substances, and some argue they need to come with a warning. There is concern that just anybody can hang out a shingle offering a “spiritual psychedelic retreat” — how do we protect vulnerable people from abuse?
