Has Lucy impacted your life? Share your story and thoughts in the comments!

A few weeks ago, the FDA granted Breakthrough Therapy status to an L$D pill for depression, a major turnaround for one of the most controversial drugs in modern history.

In this video, I break down the full story, from Albert Hofmann’s lab in Switzerland to early psychiatric research, through the 1960s counterculture and the backlash that followed, to Nixon’s War on Drugs and the end of clinical research.

Along the way, Lucy also influenced a certain visionary who would later encourage the world to “Think Different.” 🍎

Fast forward to today: the pharma company Definium Therapeutics has reported promising results from a trial involving 150 people with depression, with benefits lasting up to 3 months after a single L$D treatment. These findings are still awaiting peer-reviewed publication.

Important: “Breakthrough Therapy” status does NOT mean L$D is approved. It means the FDA sees enough promise to work closely with the company and accelerate development and review.
