From where I stand, the linked article below looks like an opportunistic partisan move. In my view, people from both sides of the dispute (#MAPS AND #Psymposia) managed to slow down the progress of #psychedelicMedicine (maybe for good).
But I agree with Ms. Devenot that, specially by tagging #Left on the title, it is a "transparently partisan attack" that "politicized whistleblowers to appeal to the #Trump administration on behalf of a #pharmaceuticalcompany." (#Lykos)

"The #FDA and its advisors identified flaws in the design of the clinical trials, missing data, and a variety of biases in people involved with the trials, including an alleged cult-like support of #psychedelics. #Lykos is a commercial spinoff of the psychedelic advocacy nonprofit Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (#MAPS)."
