What Promise Do Psychedelics Hold As Therapeutics?

When psychedelics were first studied more than 50 years ago, researchers noticed that they were useful in helping people explore a greater sense of self. Now, after a half-century hiatus, scientists are studying psychedelics like MDMA, psilocybin, and ketamine as treatment for depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. So, what promise do they hold as therapeutics? Albert Garcia-Romeu, a researcher at John’s Hopkins University, joins Dr. Sanjay Gupta to talk about how psychedelics can alleviate mental suffering and what the path forward might look like. This episode originally aired on November 8, 2022.

    1. Maybe if they quit watching CNN, they’d be less anxiety and depressed. The riots are mostly peaceful, Russian Collusion and CNN + is an epic success!

    2. @Pelle Storck When will Potato Joe cure cancer? I’m betting that was another empty promise from the classified document hoarding kid sniffer Biden.

  1. I used ketamine while I was on heroin and methadone, I injected the ket into my vains, a very small amount a time for months and not only did I stop using, I got off methadone and my depression is a lot better. I would trip out a lot and if I put something nice on my phone it would guide me.

  2. 2023 is really turning the tables now that Amazons AM2023X hit the road. After all these years of barely reading anything good I was usually just shutting down any type of media as much as I can but this brings back good lights and it should give hope to some of you that no matter what is going on in the world at the end something good comes to surface

    1. Send a message to my name as he’s got all kinds of psychedelics products and gives free guide.he sells and ships discreetly

  3. What a crazy time, we had all this bad stuff going around and now Amazons AM2023X finally shows what happens when you do something smart with your life. Sounds crazy I know but this is actually the first time I was really, really happy since the whole covid thing started

  4. Just wanna say.. My heart goes to the entire community for Amazons AM2023X building up something which is worth it for everyone. This is so smart by them to launch it to shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk which shouldn’t even exist to begin with. Everyone knows the state of inflation and recession now and the way out is already in progress. Now it’s just about catching the big fish

    1. My name got mushrooms and will guide you properly on microdose to acquire lot’s of health benefits …he sells and ships discreetly too.

  5. I was sure last year would end badly for me but I think Amazons AM2023X is spot on with what they do and how they do it. Can’t say for how long it’s going to work and for sure it is overyhped right now but even for half a year or something it would be smart to ride the wave and then jump away eventually but the thing is why this is smart right now is because it’s so cheap, won’t ever find a better entry than now

    1. Lookup ~👆~to the handle for Shrooms, DMT, Ketamine, LSD, MMDA, psylocybin chocolates, gummies and alot more! He ships safely…..

  6. With almost 60 years of age I kept my doubts on the current environment. But Amazons AM2023X is seriously smart, it doesn’t matter how old you are, this will provide for you and your family which is my only goal in the last years I have to make sure the children are fine

  7. Interesting talk about Amazons AM2023X I suggest anyone to listen to the guy talking about it in the video. Personally I didn’t think they would really do that but seems like the launch just happened and there are enough slots available, could be worth huh

  8. Just few days in new year Amazons AM2023X is clearly setting up the new milestone! The only real way to counter the current recession is by acting on yourself, making own decisions and making sure that you got enough no matter what happens. If you trust conventional ways you might end up being homeless or worse at one day, seriously.. This is why I believe in projects like this one which are clearly there to make a difference and it starts right now

    1. My name got the best quality of psychedelics products and delivers very discreetly, he ships all locations.

  9. I don’t know about you but I think we should all spend some time to really think what we’ll do this year. Amazons AM2023X is a strategy which can give sustainability and avoids bad decisions. Even if you only use that for cheaper groceries it’s already better to run with it than against it

    1. Send a direct message to my name he’s got varieties of mushrooms and gives free guide on how to microdose to achieve several health benefits, he delivers discreetly too.

    2. 👆my name got the best quality of psychedelics products and gives proper guide, he sells and ships discreetly too.

  10. The discussion focuses (almost?) exclusively on psychiatric applications. The utility of psilocybin for cluster headaches is pretty widely known and I can attest first-hand to it putting my variant migraines into total remission for periods between 2 and 5 years at a time. I stumbled across this effect accidentally in the late 1980s as a result of recreational use. I’ve done this 8 or 9 times over the intervening 3 decades and arrived at a dosage regimen* that (for me) is reliable. I have noticed a need to escalate the dosages over the years, but as noted there’s a considerable safety margin.

    Two particularly odd things:
    (1) Counterintuitively, I take the mushrooms in three doses spaced over a week… but on a DESCENDING dosage. The most recent iteration, in February, 2022, was 9g, 7g, & 5g at three-day intervals. Those familiar with the dried fungus will recognize those as ‘heroic’ doses, but then we have the second odd thing:
    (2) I have essentially lost any psychedelic effects; the initial large doses I take (following years of sobriety; no tolerance) result only in a feeling of slight clumsiness, insomnia for 8 to 10 hours, and rarely some fleeting closed-eye visual manifestations. The subsequent two doses have even less effect, mostly in the form of insomnia. I have dealt with a cop** under the influence and came off as very slightly intoxicated on alcohol.

    Following each dose, I do feel a bit mentally sluggish the following day… not unlike an ethanol hangover minus the headache and gastric complaints. The process essentially blows a week, but the last thing I want is yet another prescription to take daily (or more). It’s a good trade-off for me as I am able to take the week off when needed once in a great while. It ends up cheaper too if amortized over 3 years, vs. Topiramate.

    * don’t ask me how; it was largely intuitive which irritates my logical and analytical side.
    ** I happened to witness a motor vehicle accident in front of my home and was confident enough to come forward as a witness. I did open a beer and carry it outside to explain my slightly ‘off’ behavior.
