Review for Multidisciplinary Association For Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), San Jose, CA, USA
MAPS is a breath of fresh air and a fantastic networking site. It provides essential information and updates on research into the therapeutic use of psychedelics. Their respectful tenacity is enabling them to complete various research projects that I hope will lead to psychedelics coming back into mainstream psychiatry.

Ways to make it better...
I like the way it is.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

One thing I'd also say is that...
if you really knew how ineffective and dangerous some current psychiatric treatments are; and if you knew just how effective and safe psychedelics can be, then you would insist that it be a mainstream treatment.
