Psychedelic Assisted Therapy for PTSD and Veterans

This is an interesting report that could be very helpful to our veterans. They served, they are not not rich but they showed up to defend our principles. Some come back with scars they can't shake their whole lives. Anytime we can find a possible solution then we should explore it. We waste money and things that have much lower returns. Let us applaud this research and the embracing of the greater responsibility we have to each other.
