The Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelics
1:13:53 - 1:30:29 (16:36)
The highly plastic state induced by psychedelics such as Ibogaine and MDMA may have therapeutic effects, as memories are reconsolidated and broader areas of the brain become co-active. Purity and sourcing is key for clinical trials, as contaminants like methamphetamine can have neurotoxic effects.

The highly plastic state induced by substances like MDMA and psilocybin may drive a therapeutic effect on PTSD by allowing individuals to re-experience memories and reconsolidate them in a new, potentially more positive light with long-lasting results.

Summary
Dr. Wagner, a neuropsychologist, conducted neurocognitive batteries for individuals before and after MDMA usage, and found no negative impacts on cognitive profiles. Experimental patients receiving MDMA and chronic users who only take MDMA both show no signs of neurocognitive damage, and it's likely that modest dose exposure over a lifetime does not have a profound effect on neurocognitive functioning.
