From a purely commercial perspective, I think we're seeing the birth of a huge growth industry in psychedelics.

It certainly feels like there's a lot of demand for alternative (i.e. non SSRI/CBT) treatments for depression. At the same time, there are countless anecdotes of psilocybin/LSD having a profound success on people with these types of mental health conditions.

My prediction is that psychedelics will replicate the success of the marijuana industry, albeit in a much more restricted/regulated environment.
