Help make MDMA a medicine — now is the time!

We are at a point in time where we can radically improve mental health and available therapies in the United States — and you can help.

A long-term follow-up study published in June 2020 demonstrated that an astounding 67% of the study volunteers (N=91) who had PTSD for an average duration of 17.8 years were still in remission and no longer qualified for a PTSD diagnosis at least 12-months following the completion of their treatment.

MAPS is working hard to make MDMA assisted psychotherapy an approved treatment. They need your help to move it to a Phase 3 clinical trial, to then be approved by the FDA, and available in 2022.

By September 10, 2020, MAPS needs to raise $10 million to unlock a $10 million challenge pledge. Combined with $10 million already committed, if enough donations received, they will have the $30 million needed to complete the studies required for FDA approval of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD.

YOU CAN HELP by donating any amount that feels right. The COVID-19 crisis has brought forth a sense of altruism for many. Here is an opportunity to truly make the world a better place.

If you know someone that has been affected by trauma (or addictions tied to trauma) —hint, it’s more than you think, then consider supporting this initiative. MDMA assisted therapy is showing potential to be nothing short of a game changer.

To learn more, listen to this great interview with MAPS Founder and Executive Director, Rick Doblin, Ph.D. on the 6/12 episode of the Tim Ferris show. Hat’s off to Tim (a virtual mentor of mine for the past 15+ years —and brother from another mother) for acting as a crucial catalyst on this push! 🙏

I just donated $500 personally, and as a company, we are donating another $1,000.

Support MAPS today with any amount.

In wellness,
