Now this is very intersting. Makes me even more frustrated with the Drug War and what new advances in medicine that have been suppressed.

Psychedelic drugs even in low doses will end up in addiction, and the end result is over dose or suicide. Michael Jaksonand Anna Nicole Smith are examples to this. I wonder why the scientists are thinking about implementing such psychedelic drugs in the field of Mental Health. In my opinion Yoga is the best cure for most of the mental illnesses. I can prove it.Any mental illness can be cured through Yogic techniques. I am an example to this. It is very simple and very cost effective.I hope in the near future scientists will think about researching the ancient science Yoga. The science of yoga has a history of more than 5,000 years and it has become a universally accepted exercise as well as a therapy to cure all diseases including mental health.The U.S. government have to think about implementing Yoga in the medical field so that trillions of dollars can be saved.

    Thomas: Are you a doctor or a researcher of drugs? Your statement about low doses ending up in addiction, overdose and suicide sound like the only possibilities and there will be no other outcome. I totally disagree with your conclusions. Do you have sources or studies that back-up your claims? While I agree yoga can be of benefit to society, I feel you are negating any benefit that might come from psychedelic drugs being used to help patients who have mental disorders to further your venture into the yoga business. You sound like you are just regurgitating government propaganda or sound like a War on Drugs public announcement.
