    It’s with an enormous sense of pride, satisfaction, and relief that I can share that @MAPS learned that the first of two Phase 3 studies of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD was statistically significant and is considered a successful Phase 3 study: maps.org/20201217a

    I am thrilled to announce that the recording of my Ted Talk about psychedelic research is now available! On the main stage at TED2019, I spoke on how psychedelics can shift the field of mental health and MAPS’ MDMA-assisted psychotherapy research. go.ted.com/rickdoblin

    Today, The @guardian published my op-ed outlining why @MAPS envisions a day when psychedelics will be more than a last-ditch treatment: they will be a catalyst for mass mental health.

    100,000 is a very large number of therapists, but considering the millions of people with PTSD and depression, it’s not unreasonable. @MAPS aims to train 25,000 therapists in MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD by 2030. @LAWeekly @Berkeley_Psyche @michaelpollan

    We are delighted to see legal access to psychedelics for spiritual, health, or personal growth join cannabis reform as a popular and bipartisan issue despite the barriers imposed by antiquated drug policies.

    If we do succeed with our second Phase 3 study of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD, the whole field of psychedelic psychotherapy will have been proven in one instance, serving as the pathbreaker with the FDA. @MAPS @TODAYShow @NBC @SavannahGuthrie @JonLubecky

    Paired with his audacious dedication to humanizing people who use drugs, @DrCarlHart challenges the fear-based dogmas of the War on Drugs. Welcome to the @MAPS Board of Directors, Carl!

    Today is my 64th birthday! What a great time to be alive—we’re witnessing the revival of psychedelic research, the turning of the tide for marijuana prohibition, and MDMA is on the way to becoming a legal prescription medicine.
