After lockdown.

Psilocybin, too. 8)

Personally, I can see the benefits of either/both, but would lean towards the natural option over the chemistry lab one. Although I suppose low dose MDMA may be super safe and therapeutic. I just think of it as more of a macro dose party drug. Psilocybin, otoh, is rated as the safest recreational drug on the planet and is literally impossible to overdose on - way safer + IMO the effects, while different, would be just as or more beneficial. But whatever, if these scientists prefer lab drugs over nature’s magic at least they’re utilizing this particular class of beneficial substances to help rebalance people after such a prolonged period of stress and difficulty for many.
