Psychedelic Renaissance

The banned molecules return through the front door, wearing lab coats.

Documented history: psychedelic research shut down (1970 CSA scheduling) after the documented excesses and politics of the 1960s, then returned through sanctioned channels — Johns Hopkins (2000 psilocybin approval, 2006 landmark paper), MAPS' MDMA trials reaching FDA review (2024 rejection and resubmission saga), Oregon and Colorado legalization frameworks. The conspiracy-file angle is the continuity question: the same molecules the state criminalized as consciousness-hazards returning as patented therapies. Links MKULTRA (the state's first psychedelic program) and DMT.
