I’m a huge fan of Shawn Ryan and his podcast. Often, he talks about his use of psychedelics to help with his PTSD as well as the physical trauma he’s faced that can be debilitating.

While the use of psychedelics is still somewhat taboo, the thought of it being used for our troops seemed next to impossible. But it appears the military is now actually looking to move forward with testing to see the effects it has on troops and how it can be best used to improve the lives and performance of our men and women serving, and who have served, this country.

It has recently been mentioned that the Department of Defense (DOD) is diving deep into psychedelics with a $9.8 million investment. The goal? To see if MDMA, the main ingredient in ecstasy, can help active-duty soldiers battling PTSD.
