Description
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing MDMA-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, which could become the first psychedelic-assisted therapy as early as August.
Today, The Common presents the final episode of our three-part series looking at the past, present and future of psychedelics in Massachusetts as a potential ballot question that could lead to the decriminalization of natural psychedelic substances in Massachusetts.
Rick Doblin, founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), is featured in today's conversation. He has led efforts to bring psychedelics back into mainstream medicine, in part by organizing clinical drug trials to get MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD approved by the FDA.

It's a huge victory for advocates who have been pushing for such a program for more than a decade. by The Common
