Review for Multidisciplinary Association For Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), San Jose, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

MAPS has inspired me in the idea that I could pursue studies in the clinical efficacy of what have been historically referred to as psychedelics. They have been pivotal in re-shaping our collective attitudes and quelling fears about these powerful medicines. MAPS has given hope to the possibilities for new healing interventions based on ancient wisdom.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

FDA trials, Publications and contributions to academic literature, responsible advocacy for health and healing, and support in research.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

Put myself on permanent staff.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

Their professionalism and responsible advocacy for health and healing.

The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...

Warm, friendly, down-to-earth, articulate, knowledgeable, and responsible/ethical.

If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...

Process another FDA application (maybe two).

Ways to make it better...

I was on permanent staff.

In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...

External, political, social pressures and factors. Probably mostly from drug companies.

One thing I'd also say is that...

It is an honor and a privelege to support MAPS.
