Psychedelic therapy could flatten out that energy landscape again and allow more information to come in. It could allow depressed or anxious people to update their models of the world. – Parker Singleton	Found on FOX News 2 years ago

The most important risk is that people and patients rely on unproven methods and refrain from using evidence-based methods, patients lose time and money by relying on useless methods that can, at best, provide placebo response which is usually transient.
