Great article on addiction and other therapies using psychedelics

Psychedelic research in the U.S. is stunted by years of drug war policies including the criminalization of small amounts of these substances as well as the unwillingness of the FDA and DEA to allow research to take place.  Things are changing, however, and some studies are pointing toward more acceptance with the scientific and medical community.

This article (below) looks at the history of psychedelic therapy over time, particularly with regard to helping people address addictions and recovering from trauma.

I highly recommend giving this a read, even if you know absolutely nothing about the topic.
