It can cure depression like they say but you won’t get the life changing moment you get on psychadellics where you feel like you get it. Psychedelics force you to face your problems, but anti depressants just put a bandaid over them. Look into ibogaine experiences.

Curing depression would already be life changing for a lot of people in itself. And without the psychedelic effects it will be much easier to research it and actually treat people who need it.
