"The psychedelics were the tools, not the end game. They were for psychiatry what the microscope was for biology and what the telescope was for astronomy."

Today, @MindstateDesign (backed by founders of OpenAI, Neuralink & @DayOneVC) announces FDA and EMA approval for human trials.

Mindstate will begin the clinical validation of their neurotech platform for designing altered states of consciousness.

Cannot wait for the future where we can solve treatment resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD and other mental health conditions...
