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

Rating: 5 stars  

This organisation is embarking on a very important task of defining and shaping the tools to aid in the discovery of therapies and medications to help people recover from much ignored and misunderstood states of living in terms of physical and mental health, be it improving or abolishing the sufferring associated with the mental or physical health condition. To put it bluntly most of their goals would not only improve the lives of those in need but vastly improve the lives of the so called 'normal' society we live in. The permutations of their success would no doubt be seen as an evolotionary step forward.
