Abstract

Psychedelic research into psychiatric disorders is slowly re-emerging after a near 40-year morass. The presentation touches on psychedelic research history, its near-complete prohibition from the early 1970s and recent rebirth. Current US trials of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy and medical marijuana for treatment-resistant PTSD are focussed on as are patent applications for nasal ketamine sprays for the acutely suicidal. The laws and regulatory procedures governing current clinical research and likely future licensing are considered.
