It seems we are getting into a second, more mature wave of investigation into psychedelics. There is a lot of potential here. It's not the cure-all that many thought in the 60s, but these substances are very powerful and can facilitate meaningful change in people's lives, when used properly.<p>My intuition is that they work best when they are of a larger, more holistic effort to improve oneself and get a better perspective on life. I think this is why the studies that used guided sessions with preparation in the weeks before are so effective. As we study and understand this more, we can really start to realize the potential.
