Review for Multidisciplinary Association For Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), San Jose, CA, USA
MAPS has been an educational resource for my teenaged children who have expressed curiosity about psychedelics, but who have wanted to understand their value and respect them as more than just "party" drugs. Their interest in MAPS is something they have shared with others and there has been a considerable lifting of the level of understanding of psychedelic studies among them...many of them, after reading MAPS, have told me they are "not ready" for the deep experience that psychedelics entail, and I am grateful that they have enough information to know that. Nevertheless, they continue to read MAPS newsletters and show a continued curiosity about the value of psychedelics therapeutically for so many people. I think the research conducted by this association is invaluable and of paramount importance.
