Psilocybin, ketamine, ibogaine and MDMA: mechanism, trial status, and honest limits.

Editor's note

Psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, and ibogaine are moving through regulatory pipelines at very different speeds, under very different safety profiles. We report trial phase, comparator, blinding limits, cardiac and psychiatric risk, and the difference between a supervised protocol and a clinic marketing one. Enthusiasm is not evidence, and neither is dismissal.
