this is definitely true.

science that instinctively disavows societal practice without having tested it is not science. it's prejudice.

i am thoroughly enjoying watching psilocybin massively outperform pharma drugs for depression as actual clinical trials are performed.

Even if psilocybin outperforms Pharma drugs, it will likely remain on the fringe until Pharma can find a way to monetize it. Oral allergy immunotherapy has been used for decades in the UK, Europe, and Australia. It's not associated with anaphylaxis like allergy shots but is still considered "unproven" in the United States and, thus, not covered by health insurance.

Right? Same. Also PTSD. Methylene blue has shown the same potential.
