Thank you for writing this! I enjoyed the 9 Perfect Strangers story but I was mad as hell when they implied that psychedelics are addictive, violence-inducing, etc. I'm so glad you are putting good information out there!

Mini-rant: There was also a scene in which they said (I think) they were mixing ayahuasca with LSD for the treatments. No one who knows anything about psychedelics or psychedelic therapies would do that. Either on its own is more than adequate to produce a psychedelic experience, and together they'd create a rush of serotonin that could be dangerous for the user.Dear Hollywood Writers, please call someone who knows about chemicals and the brain when writing such scenes! (End Rant)

Bravo! Bravo!
