60 Minutes joined U.S. veterans with PTSD as they attend a week-long psychedelic retreat in Mexico. Nearly a year later, most of the vets say the experience with psilocybin was life-changing.
Last year, for the first time, the Veterans Administration announced it would begin funding its own clinical trials to treat post traumatic stress disorder, depression and addiction, using two psychedelic drugs psilocybin and MDMA. Even if these trials are successful, it would be years before the VA could prescribe either drug for its patients.
At first it seemed like the group might have traveled thousands of miles for a midday nap. But then about an hour in, we saw Michael Giardina raise his hand for help. His foot soon started to shake, followed by his whole body. By hour three, it was clear the psilocybin had kicked in.Randy Weaver and TJ Duff barely seemed to move. While firefighter Ed Glover appeared caught between rapture, and deep sorrow.
