Together, we can cross the finish line and make MDMA a medicine

The results from the first of two MAPS-sponsored Phase 3 clinical trials for MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD were statistically significant. The full results will be published soon. Phase 3 is the final stage before seeking FDA approval for a new prescription treatment.

If successful, this treatment could transform the lives of millions of people who live with the impacts of complex trauma.

Become a Psychedelic Advocate

Monthly MAPS donors sustain our work and support year-round psychedelic research, drug policy reform, public education, harm reduction, peer support, and general operations.

 





MDMA-assisted therapy is the only treatment for PTSD designated by the FDA as a breakthrough therapy

Our highest priority project is funding clinical trials of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) as a tool to assist therapy for the treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

We have also sponsored clinical trials of MDMA-assisted therapy for anxiety associated with life-threatening illness and social anxiety in autistic adults, LSD-assisted therapy for anxiety, and medical marijuana for PTSD in veterans of war. We have sponsored observational studies for ibogaine therapy for drug addiction and ayahuasca-assisted treatment for drug addiction and PTSD.
