• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  Psychedelic drugs are usually associated with the counterculture movement of the 1960s. However, decades earlier, there was interest in their development as treatments for psychiatric disorders. Concerns over abuse led to a cessation of research. Today, interest in these drugs as therapeutics has been revived, with research supporting a rapid and long-lasting effect in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance abuse, and other psychiatric conditions. In addition, the legal restrictions on these drugs have loosened in many areas of the U.S., reminiscent of what has occurred over the past three decades with marijuana. Pharmacists need to be aware of the properties, potential value, and regulation of these ancient remedies.
