[QUOTE="MIP1950, post: 214887, member: 42988"] Nelson, as I've written in many of my posts, I have treatment resistant rapid cycling/mixed state bipolar illness. Relapsed 17 1/2 years ago after 12 years of relative stability and function. The best 12 years of my life. Though the regulatory signs look encouraging regarding doctors being able to use magic mushrooms, MDMA and even LSD, I fear the federal government and states are going to be restrictive, excluding many. The focus has been on people with PTSD, whether combat related or due to other trauma. I have friends whose lives crashed and burned from bipolar. I have friends who have adult children with severe bipolar. I have friends who have depression. Right now, the only novel treatment available is ketamine. Troches of the drug can compounded with an rx or there's the intranasal version, Esketamine. Two years is what I've heard for FDA approval for mushrooms and MDMA, IIRC. When you're ill and non-functional, that feels like a lifetime. Many of the atypical antipsychotics have black box warnings because the side effects have the potential to kill a person. 'Psychedelics' have been used for centuries by Native Americans and other indigenous cultures. I trust that, more, than the cumbersome regulatory process. [/QUOTE]
