The Psychedelic Science Conference made a grand return last week. Scientists, experts and enthusiasts gathered in Denver, Colorado, for a packed five-day schedule with 500 speakers. Among the many discussions of psilocybin-, ketamine- and MDMA-assisted therapies, the hot topic was the promise shown in these psychedelic-assisted treatments for war veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Psychedelic Science organisers Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (Maps) partnered with Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions this year. Swathes of the conference were dedicated to “psychedelic healing for veterans.”
