    Music Industry Figures Advocate for Psychedelic Drugs as Therapy

    Artists and industry professionals are advocating for the use of psychedelic drugs like ketamine, LSD, psilocybin, and ibogaine as therapy for mental health issues such as addiction, depression, and PTSD. Melissa Etheridge, Grimes, Kacey Musgraves, MGK, and others are pushing for more research and access to these substances. The music industry is seen as particularly prone to burnout and mental health struggles due to its intense, high-pressure environment. Psychedelic-assisted therapies are being explored as a way to help people 'take back their spirit' and process grief. However, access to these therapies remains limited, and experts warn about the risks and the need for proper clinical preparation.
