Do you think that psychedelics have an application to human psychology and psychiatry?
Like, kyeah.
The psychedelic state lets you step back from whatever issues and examine them more objectively and to potentially rearrange them if used in a proper context. Psychedelic states are a time in which the mind is readily susceptible to psychological remodeling in which behavioral and thought patterns can be analyzed and re-structured.
Personally, I was able to get past a bunch of childhood trauma and fundamentalist evangelical christian programming drilled into my head using psychedelics.

There's tons of work done with psychedelics and psychotherapy.
IE.
Ketamine and Quantum Psychiatry
{ Also, Dr. John Lilly, before he went off the deep-end, also talked about Ketamine and it's meta-programming potential.}
Current FDA approved research to treat PTSD using MDMA
Ibogaine used to treat opiate addiction
///There's also some stuff on MAPS (don't have the link, sorry) mentioning stuff about psilocybin and MDMA used to treat existential anxiety in stage IV cancer patients.
+Historically, MDMA was orginally used in a psychotherapeutic context, in couples therapy.
Additionally, there's were some studies done
investigating 2c-t-2 and 2c-t-7 as alternatives to MDMA therapy, because of their analytical edge.
Also, with
LSD Psychotherapy, it can take two different, Psycholytic and Psychedelic. LSD can be used in treating alcoholism, among other things.
~There's a ton of official medical/psychiatric research going on overseas, and a bunch of underground psychotherapists working in America and abroad.
