Anxiety - Psychedelics As a Second Language

Slow releasing Ketamine tablets might be the future for the treatment of severe depression

The notion of Ketamine being a horse tranquilizer is slowly shifting into the compound as a tool in psychotherapy for the treatment of several mental illnesses, allowing novel therapies, such as Ketamine VR and using Ketamine to treat post-finasteride syndrome, to be developed.

Researchers are currently in clinical trials for the approval of a slow-releasing racemic Ketamine tablet that will lower the cost of Ketamine therapy and can be administered at home by the patient as it doesn’t have the typical dissociative side effects in IV Ketamine and has low chances of addiction according to researchers.

This curiosity narrowed Incilius Alvarius to endangerment due to poaching and increased movement on the Sonoran roads. Fortunately, researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital and Columbia University greeted us with another synthetic alternative to stop harming the toads 4-F,5-MeO-PyrT.

Could this be a queue to stop seeing this toad as a “medicine” and see it as a living species once again and stop abusing it for personal benefit?
