More feedback
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
The atmosphere of safe discovery and free communication they created at their conference.
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
They held rank ranging from the founder/president of MAPS down to first time volunteers such as myself, and everyone was treated graciously with respect. The MAPS staff is kind and approachable.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
Greenlight research studies to compile enough clinical data to allow qualified therapists to use psychedelic drugs in carefully controlled environments, providing profound experiential therapies for people to overcome their darkest inner demons.
Ways to make it better...
The conference had lasted longer.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
The ignorant, anachronistic legal obstacles that prevent the crucial research they facilitate from being carried out.
One thing I'd also say is that...
MAPS is perhaps the happiest underdog I've ever interacted with. Despite the vicious prejudice against their work, they remain optimistic, skillful, and tenacious. And they do wonderful work.
