Why not try the most basic of all methods of spiritual healing that requires no pharmaceuticals? A person can be healed through religious practices. Shrooms can cause people to have negative feelings and experiences depending on the environment in which you take them. Religion is a totally positive energy force for those who have suffered hardships. Religion is also community based and not dependent upon one living person. Religion is free. You have to pay for the Shroom experience unless you pick them for yourself. The power to overcome negative experiences, feelings, and emotions depends upon developing your own innate faith. After all, it takes faith to get out of bed each morning. When you suffer from a lack of faith, you are stopped from believing in yourself and others. We all have faith to some degree. Even people with PTSD have some faith. To suffer from PTSD is to lose the power that comes through faith. Faith is to believe in yourself so that you can act on your own, without the need of an hallucinogenic substance.

Consider: What is better: the 'magic' treatment which costs $$$$$ or following the simple words of knowledge and truth?
The world is anti-God and will go to ANY length to avoid Him.
And Bob's your Uncle!
Note: I am NOT anti-doctor. Doctors have specialized knowledge and treatments which they can use to make us better. As long as they follow the Hyppocratic Oath: I will not play GOD!
Paging Dr. Leary... Does ANYONE remember the 1960s and/or 1970s? LSD was rampant. I can remember being offered "windowpane" in grade school. Several friends tried it and were never the same again. And not in a good way. Maybe it can help some people, but apply the lessons of the past. Remember when the anti-smoking crowd just wanted smoke free sections on airplanes? How did that turn out? Incrementalism is the tool of choice for tyrants everywhere now. It would be swell if "please keep this in a higher regulated zone to prevent this from becoming a weekend party drug" were possible. Do you think Big Pharma will pass on a chance to make tremendous profits from a chemical that is cheap and easy to synthesize? I'm not holding my breath. This will be available EVERYWHERE. Heck, with a marijuana dispensary on every street corner the sales network is already in place. I'm sure ordinances and laws with their accompanying regulations are ready to be introduced at every level of government from city counsel to the House of Representatives. I do feel sorry for those that this treatment would help. In the end, the burnt out remains of LSD users will be easy targets for those that want to kill us.
You nailed the issue, having a ‘healing center’ on every corner is likely where this goes. I never understood with medical marijuana why it wasn’t just prescribed by a doctor and filled by a pharmacy. Instead, prior to full marijuana legalization, CO had legal medical marijuana and there were more medical marijuana shops than coffee shops in Denver. Even South Park joked about it. And though this was supposed to require a prescription there were people outside the shops flipping signs that said ‘3 joints for $25’ which always made me wonder if I just went in would they sell it to me. And of course there was all this cool branding of the products that didn’t jive with medical use. And if you wanted a medical marijuana card there was a handful of known doctors that you could go to and tell them you had back pain, etc. and they’d issue you a card no questions asked. It was really a big racket and severely abused. Much like the pain centers in FL that issued OxyContin.
Yes, many will commodify this as they try to make a buck off of any new healing product. I have seen them come and go for 35 years. None of them do anything but enrich the peddlers.
As one who has recovered from PTSD I am not a fan of doing anything other than facilitating healing in a loving and safe container. Oh, and walking in nature constantly, doing landscaping, finding a small sense of purpose, accomplishing things, prayer, and experiencing beauty and excellence. Of course eating well and drinking little or very little.

Bingo!
It's not about the healing.
It's all about the money.
Yes it is!
