Psychedelic Pioneer Rick Doblin On FDA Trials Of MDMA: Most Important Reality Check Of MAPS' 34-Year History

It was over three decades ago that Rick Doblin, PhD., first began openly advocating for psychedelics as a potential treatment for emotional trauma. At the time, it was a bit of a hard sell to an American public caught in the throes of the War on Drugs, heavily hyped since the early 1970s. It was also a great challenge to demonstrate to government officials the positive effects that a drug like MDMA (known largely as the club drug ecstasy) was having on people suffering from emotional illnesses, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Why You Can't Win Arguments About COVID-19 And Why It's Better to Argue With Yourself...

By Justin Choi

A deadly illness makes the zoonotic leap from a bat to a human. It shuts down schools, then entire cities, and eventually the entire world. Society sets up makeshift hospitals. We dig mass graves. Infection spreads, prompting mass social distancing initiatives and the need for martial law, which remains in effect for 18 months until a vaccine is finally produced.

Adam Miller, Board Secretary, Uncork for Hope

Thankful. Humbled. Proud. Three words that sum up my current being.

We just closed the Uncork for Hope Online Auction and were able to raise over $66,000 to support at risk youth! This means that we will be able to keep our commitment to give grants to other charities, even though we weren't able to hold our annual event.

Thankful to all the wineries and individuals who donated to make sure we could put this auction on. Thankful for all those who came out to support us and ensure that we can take care of those in need.

Humbled to have witnessed how a community can come together and make a difference. Humbled because none of this would have been possible without all of you.

Proud of our team and my fellow board members for the tireless work they put in to making this event happen. Proud of what we have accomplished together, and what I know we will continue to do into the future.
