The Debate on Psychedelic Therapy

There is ongoing debate about the mechanisms behind the therapeutic potential of psychedelics in treating mental health disorders. Some argue that the transformative experiences associated with psychedelics, such as profound emotional breakthroughs and altered perceptions, are what make these substances effective. Others, however, contend that it might be possible to detach the therapeutic benefits from the hallucinogenic experience itself. This distinction is crucial as it could affect accessibility and the overall structure of future psychedelic treatments.
