If you have ever met people involved in psychedelic research, nothing of the article‘s revelations is a surprise.

Psychedelics have a bad image as illegal recreational drugs. That means only doctors, who believe in them will even touch any research into them. Others don’t want to risk tarnishing their image. Once your name is on a paper about psychedelics, you will always have he image of a drug guy.
