I'm so excited that you're doing another AMA, thanks! I wish my question was a little more helpful to other people, but it's pretty specific to my situation so I apologize.
Since learning about and beginning to experiment with various psychedelics to determine their helpfulness with my depression and anxiety, I've been self-teaching myself about these compounds and their histories. I've made the decision that whether in the US or a country with a little more legal freedom, I want to provide guided psychedelic therapy professionally. I obviously follow MAPS and Rick Doblin in particular on different platforms to keep up with newer research (along with Heffter etc.) and read any books/ articles/anything I can get my hands on the compounds themselves or the people who have researched and utilized them. After all this, I think I've finally boiled potential fields of study down to two options: Ethnobotany or Psychopharmacology. I want to work with your organization or one like you to provide treatment assisted by these amazing drugs for so many reasons. So I suppose I'd just like to ask you, am I going in the right direction? Thanks so much if you get time to answer, and for everything you do!
