On: Compound found in the hallucinogenic tea ayahuasca can grow new brain cells

What was that ban out of curiosity? Also, is there a name for this profession?

There is a name for the profession, but I don't know it. It's not my field of expertise.

The ban? Schedule one medicine prohibited scientific research of those plants and chemicals. It wasn't until the presidency changed that, by turning a blind eye to it instead of enforcing it. The idea is if states legalize, then research should be legally allowed as well.

Where I live all of this is legal, so it's where most of the research was happening. It's legal in more places in the US today, so for all I know research is happening now in more places.

In the US, Oregon is the only state to legalize mushrooms?

I'm in the SF/Bay Area and it's legal here.

What states have done is they legalize in the cities where the research is being done. (Or research follows where cities have legalized.)
