This week on Century of Lies: FDA Rejects MAPS MDMA-Assisted Therapy.

On August Ninth, the Food and Drug Administration formally rejected a New Drug Application submitted by Lykos Therapeutics for its MDMA-Assisted Therapy. While this news came as a shock to some, back in June an FDA advisory committee recommended rejecting the application.

To learn more about FDA’s decision, on this edition of Century we hear portions of that June advisory committee meeting including presentations by Jonathan Lubecky; Brigadier General (Ret.) Loree Sutton, MD; Nese Devenot, PhD, Brian Pace, PhD; Michael Abrams, MPH, PhD, a senior researcher in Public Citizen’s Health Research Group; Kayla Greenstien, a PhD student at the University of Sydney; Beau Witka; and Meaghan Buisson.
