This will be used to save 100,000s of suicides in the future, mark my words.
This is awesome. It shows that usable, prescibable medicines can be derived from the psychedelic family. I know Ketamine is not a tryptamine and therefor the pharmocology is very different. However, I think its extremely interesting that they found out how to keep the antidepressant affects, and negate the psychedelic affects. Although it is still "mind manifesting" since it is an antidepressant, users can function and even enjoy increased memory and learning. This is in phase 2 but has been fasttracked by the FDA because of its necessity. This is one of the 1st examples of a psychedelic derived medicine that will most likely be available to those suffering sometime in the near future. I think this molecule "GLYX-13" was able to be discovered because Ketamine is not a schedule 1 drug like most psychedelics. And if we use this as an example as to why they "drugs" need to be removed from schedule 1 because of things we havent even been able to discover yet, I think people will begin to realize just how big of a mistake the government has made.
We are surprisingly similar.
