WHAT IS MAPS?
Founded in 1986 by Rick Doblin, Ph.D., the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit research and educational organization that develops medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics and marijuana. Their most recent study is using MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of severe post traumatic stress disorder. To learn more, visit the MAPS website: maps.org
RESULTS FROM PHASE II TRIALS
In MAPS’ completed Phase 2 trials with 107 participants, 56% no longer qualified for PTSD after treatment, measured two months following treatment. At the 12-month follow-up, 68% no longer had PTSD. These participants all had chronic, treatment-resistant PTSD, and most only received two or three sessions of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy, along with twelve 90-minute psychotherapy sessions for preparation and integration.

WHY NOW?
MAPS had breakthrough results on their Phase 2 trials of MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD, and are now conducting Phase 3 trials, the final stage of research before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can approve a new prescription treatment. MAPS currently aims to submit its New Drug Application to the FDA in 2021 for approval. Drug development is expensive, but with our help, MAPS will be able to make this PTSD treatment widely available to the 25 million people in the world who are suffering from serious trauma.
