Startups are betting on a psychedelic gold rush

A startup called Field Trip is opening clinics where they administer ketamine treatments. Other psychedelics, like MDMA and psilocybin, may follow.

This potentially revolutionary approach to mental health also represents a tremendous commercial opportunity for health care and pharmaceutical companies. But despite promising, privately funded studies into psychedelics, current government regulations prevent the wider availability of psychedelic therapy.

I think this can be a good development if it's properly accompanied by medical and mental health professionals and there's a proper scientific basis for the treatment approach. You don't want a bunch of cowboys running drug shops and calling it therapeutic.
