MAPS is hoping to demonstrate MDMA-assisted psychotherapy&#8217;s efficacy in treating mental health issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and it may eventually be beneficial for other mental illnesses and traumas as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Current State Of Psychedelic Therapy\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding the current laws surrounding <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/a-quick-guide-to-the-many-types-of-psychedelic-therapy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">psychedelic therapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the United States can feel a little confusing, particularly as states like Oregon and Colorado work to decriminalize magic mushrooms and other substances. Colorado recently passed legislation allowing for \u201chealing centers\u201d utilizing shrooms to start opening as soon as 2024, and Oregon is trending in a similar direction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These healing centers will be operated by licensed facilitators, but this is not quite the same as medically sanctioned healthcare like that provided by a psychiatrist or therapist. However, therapists can seek out specialized training in psychedelic-assisted practices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other areas that have begun decriminalizing or deprioritizing enforcement of one or more psychedelic substances include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seattle, WA<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington, D.C.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Santa Cruz, CA\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ann Arbor and Detroit, MI\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Somerville, MA\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, a variation of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/exploring-the-therapeutic-potential-of-ketamine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ketamine<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the only psychoactive substance legalized for use in therapeutic settings across the country. An increasing number of clinics have been providing these services in recent years, and some health insurance providers are beginning to cover this form of care.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How MAPS Plans To Help\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MAPS has been at the forefront of psychedelic research for decades, funding studies, seminars, and conferences to promote proper education and harm reduction about a myriad of substances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their studies have demonstrated the potential benefits of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/psilocybin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">psilocybin mushrooms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, ayahuasca, ketamine, and MDMA, particularly for people with treatment-resistant depression and other mental disorders. FDA approval could trigger a cascade of new regulations and rules by reclassifying MDMA from its current Schedule I status, the most tightly controlled drug class.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It would essentially be the first approved form of psychedelic-assisted therapy available in the United States. There is hope for the future, but rescheduling MDMA and subjecting it to rigorous testing and policy considerations are still necessary steps. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Potential Benefits Of MDMA-Assisted Therapy\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MAPS has been studying the potential benefits of MDMA for around 30 years and has collected some fascinating information and research along the way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MDMA, when used in conjunction with talk therapy, has demonstrated benefits in reducing the severity of symptoms associated with PTSD, depression, and anxiety, although the FDA approval would primarily be targeting PTSD treatment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As psilocybin therapy also becomes a popular topic of discussion, some researchers have studied <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41598-023-40856-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">using MDMA and mushrooms together<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for mental health treatment. They have found that MDMA helps make the experience go more smoothly and leads to a more positive outcome after a therapeutic session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The continued growth of cannabis as a medical treatment has helped spur the growing movement calling for decriminalization and the use of other naturally occurring substances in healthcare. There is still a long way to go, but progress is being made faster than ever before.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MAPS is hoping to fast-track FDA approval for MDMA-assisted therapy in just six months, but the FDA has 60 days to determine how quickly they would like to move forward with the process. The agency has recognized the therapeutic potential of MDMA in the past, so they may decide to fast-track approval.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the measure passes, MDMA will make history as the first psychedelic approved for pharmaceutical use. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MAPS Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), an arm of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, has made big strides recently encouraging the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to consider approving MDMA, also known as molly or ecstasy, for MDMA-assisted therapy.\u00a0 If it passes, it will revolutionize the current state of psychedelic-assisted therapy nationwide.
