    FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS? This is insane, you can just go to a drug dealer and buy some for over a hundred times less. I really hope this is the price with insurance.

      Yeah, if your drug dealer is a licensed psychiatrist.

      It’s drug-assisted therapy. You’re paying for a therapist, not a drug. In the study, they did three eight-hour sessions. They don’t just give you a few beans and wish you luck.
