Trials on veterans suggest the potent hallucinogen could provide a new treatment for PTSD, but scientists still don't know how it works.

    How about you just don’t send them to pointless wars?

      Both would be nice, a treatment for those who were exposed to horrors of war and an attempt not to expose any more people to it?

        Yeah, after I posted I realized that there are some people who are fighting for just causes. I just don’t like how these plant teachers are being used to heal people from war, which we should be avoiding in the first place. And I see a lot of articles about veteran use etc. I just dislike when things become appropriated by people who have been demonizing it their whole careers. Same with legal weed, they all love it now that they’re making bank from it but before it was the evil devil’s weed that made white women sleep with jazz singers.

      As someone who lives with PTSD and is currently receiving ketamine treatment I strongly disagree

        ketamine has permanently destroyed the lining of friend’s bladders leading to Hunner Lesions forever and now they’re more suicidal than before.

          Yes your friends anecdotal experience should totally be all the evidence needed to stop this treatment for everyone else. Forget all the peer reviewed studies that occurred before this treatment was legalized. We can now throw all of those out. You should send your findings to John’s Hopkins, Harvard and Stanford for review.

            Yes, let’s completely undermine a medical known issue for some people who have ketamine as therapy because it suits you.

            edit: I dare you, absolutely dare you to go into the interstitial cystitis and hunners lesions online support groups and use your audacity to tell the percentage of people in those groups who have burnt bladders that their stories are anecdotal. Let me know how that goes for you.
