this usage of psychedelic drugs to combat depression seems like Dr Demento thought it up after smoking high grade marijuana, but the theory I suspect it would be if one with positive stimuli happening while undergoing his or her treatment trip they could very well experience safe outcomes from something otherwise would be scary.... I see advantages to this treatment. I am 89 and took LCD and Mescaline about 15 timed from '68 to 71. I was so grateful I made it through the experience but also felt less inner bound to thinking one way, it u opened my mind to open and allow far outside the box thinking and never feeling badly about it. I can see why depression is up so high. Then it was the age of summer of love.... 1967 graduate of Westchester hi Sch. did it help me?
