I love the whole "psychedelics are effective for depression/anxiety" because a) that's not what the research shows and b) the research is, to put it mildly, useless anywayhttps://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1048957990668259329 …
This is fairly common across psychedelic research. Some interesting animal studies, but little evidence in humans for anything at all

Partly that's because psychedelics are illegal pretty much everywhere, and partly it's because there's just not that much evidence backing the idea that tripping balls can help your mental health

Anyone who makes a definitive statement either way, however, is almost certainly wrong We just don't really know if psychedelics are/aren't a potential treatment for mental health problems

Current best evidence is mixed, and animal models are at best challenging to interpret The jury is very much out, but in the absence of evidence it's worth remembering that many of these drugs have side-effects and should not be used lightly
