Tested this again a week ago. Can confirm.

"But yet science on the topic is very much emerging. There's a lot being done, but there also needs to be a lot more done before we can make judgments about how effective these substances would be in a more clinical medical setting."

There have been 1000s of years of indigenous research on the mental and emotional health benefits of entheogens, and protocols for safe and effective use. Multidisciplinary academic research has been investigating them for nearly a century, within the limits of knee-jerk colonial prohibitions against their use.
There is far more evidence for the safety and efficacy of entheogens than any contemporary pharmaceutical used for mental health conditions. Just let us use them already!
