    .@IwriteOK's episode on David Grossman, director of the "Killology Research Group," remains depressingly relevant. Grossman trains cops in his made up field of "killology" & has said, “If you properly prepare yourself, killing is just not that big a deal”

    In 2015, @MeaghanBuisson participated in a @MAPS MDMA for PTSD @US_FDA trial. This vid shows some of what her therapists did to her. Asked about the "uncomfortable" contact in session, @RickDoblin said "humans are humans." MAPS said study records show no "ethical violation" 1/

    Psymposia's official statement on the FDA's decision to reject Lykos Therapeutics' MDMA-assisted therapy application
    We applaud the FDA’s decision to reject Lykos Therapeutics’ application for MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD. Lykos has a history of cover-ups, data manipulation, and egregious psychological, financial, and sexual exploitation of patients that should be exposed, not ignored. The people who counted on Lykos to conduct their trials responsibly deserved better. The FDA followed the science and did not cave to political pressure funded by Lykos’ donors and investors. As patient advocates, we believe this is a critical time for thoughtful action, accountability, and the establishment of the highest standards in psychedelic safety, efficacy, and harm reduction. Our goal is to ensure that patients, veterans, and other vulnerable demographics seeking help are not exploited and abandoned by pharmaceutical companies.This decision protects the future of the psychedelic field by avoiding a rush to market with preventable harms, as occurred in the opioid crisis.
