0:00.0	We're in a psychedelic renaissance now. There's way more secular research now than at any time ever in the world.
0:05.2	But one of the victories you could say is that the narrative before in the 80s was about
0:11.3	neurotoxicity, and now it's neuroplasticity.
0:14.5	Actually people have said that PTSD changed by brain and MDMA changed it back.
