Review for Multidisciplinary Association For Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), San Jose, CA, USA
I first heard about MAPS in 2008, and was really impressed with all the work they do to further the understanding of psychedelics the beneficial role they can play in our lives. There is undue hysteria and fear of psychedelics which takes away from any meaningful and rational progress on the issues that might be of importance to public safety and a more rational approach to their uses. MAPS has been instrumental in bringing some of these issues into the light and bringing some of the benefits the advantage of scientific research and process.
