    Yeah, if your drug dealer is a licensed psychiatrist.

    It’s drug-assisted therapy. You’re paying for a therapist, not a drug. In the study, they did three eight-hour sessions. They don’t just give you a few beans and wish you luck.

      Even so, that’s $625/hr, which is prohibitively expensive for many Americans. Insurance companies are going to fight tooth and nail not to pay for this. What are the odds the VA pays $15,000 for every traumatized vet? Getting MDMA from a dealer and having one of your friends talk things out with you is, while less effective, going to be the only option for a ton of people.
