Psychedelic Healing

Banned after promising research in the 1940s, '50s and '60s, the use of psychedelics as therapeutic catalysts is now being rediscovered at prestigious medical schools, such as Harvard, Johns Hopkins, NYU and UCLA. Through clinical trials to assess their use, entheogens have been found to ease anxiety in the dying, interrupt the hold of addictive drugs, cure post-traumatic stress disorder and treat other deep-seated emotional disturbances. To date, results have been positive and the idea of psychedelics as powerful psychiatric - and spiritual - medicines is now beginning to be accepted by the medical community.
