Two recent studies on the efficacy of psilocybin to treat depression and anxiety in cancer patients were recently published, to quite a bit of positive and congratulatory press.(pdfs are linked within the blog post linked below) I am of course a promotor of the therapeutic benefits of psychedelics for a variety of disorders, but have been concerned over some of the issues of accessibility and ki underlying legality that are addressed in the blog post linked here.

I took a look at a lot of the press articles on these studies and the glanced over the papers themselves prior to setting this blog, and was struck by the way they were constructed. It reflects some of my thinking the matter, and is actually refreshing to see.

Thoughts?
