It has to be a significant part of the total because it’s being used as an argument against introducing new treatments for PTSD.

I read it to be less against pharmaceutical treatments and more in support of preventative social measures.
It’s not clear that the two aren’t one and the same. MDMA treatments for PTSD are not ongoing medications. Generally they are just 3 sessions of assisted therapy producing a huge reduction in symptoms.

If we can reduce the level of trauma and fear in society, we can reduce associated behaviors.
