seems to be the same idea as ketamine.
this would be in a pill form i think. and, like the ketamine for depression, a much lower dose than what is used to get high.

Psychedelics were showing great promise, in clinical trials in the '60s, as a treatment for mental illness. Then the government cracked down and virtually no research was done for 30 years. This article was in the NY Times Magazine two months ago.

thnx for that link hugh.
interesting read. i read somewhere that research in psychedelic drugs is now 'being done correctly' and not in the free-for-all way the drugs were used/abused back in the 60's.
i even read a article by the famous psychiatrist stephen stahl recently about the use of psychedelics in the treatment of depression. he said these were the most significant new drugs for mental illness in over 20 years. he also said; 'exciting times ahead. hold on to your hats. major changes are coming soon to psychiatry.' man i hope he is right.
thnx again for the post/link.
