Psilocybin with psychological support for treatment-resistant depression: an open-label feasibility study
In this open-label feasibility trial, 12 patients (six men, six women) with moderate-to-severe, unipolar, treatment-resistant major depression received two oral doses of psilocybin (10 mg and 25 mg, 7 days apart) in a supportive setting.
This study provides preliminary support for the safety and efficacy of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression and motivates further trials, with more rigorous designs, to better examine the therapeutic potential of this approach.

"Just to get a sense of how radical this is," Graeber said, "when I was in Rojava, people told me ‘we're anti-capitalist. But we've learned from the 20th century that you can't destroy capitalism unless you get rid of the state. And that you can't get rid of the state unless you get rid of patriarchy.’ So that's why you see all those women soldiers. How to get rid of patriarchy? Well, making sure all women have access to automatic weapons is an obvious start."
Graeber added, "One of the first places they took me was a police academy, where they said, their ultimate aim was to give everyone in the country six weeks of police training, then abolish the police."
