At least they're testing claims. Which is an improvement on just banning some drugs for 50 years.

Why is this a surprise? Too many people think chemicals scrambling your brain is an answer. It rarely if ever is. Sad truth is PTSD might well be uncurable. Same as you cannot unbake a cake.

Well, there's treatment vs. cures. Some people find benefit from treatments while never achieving a cure for what ails them.

True, but chemicals covering things up like that simply is not a good thing. To think it is would be medical malpractice. Like telling someone with depression to go to a bar and get loaded.

Several legal prescription drugs cover things up, so to speak. They may interrupt signals. Many have side effects also. You're trying to find a balance when it's not curing you but treating something and you're hoping the result is better than without the drug for the person using it.
