Last summer, thousands of tie-dyed Burners and Patagonia-clad tech founders converged on the MAPS Psychedelic Science conference in Denver. The experience "broke the spell of this trauma, and she was able to rebuild her life," Doblin told The Guardian . The video team's job was to store recordings of every MDMA therapy session performed in the clinical trials. Grof believes in something called an "inner healing intelligence," an innate capacity for self-healing that psychedelic therapy helps unleash. Another time, a patient who had come to an MDMA therapy session later acknowledged they had been under the influence of LSD during treatment.

CNN —Two men driving in Death Valley National Park on July 4 got lost and illegally drove off-road, the US National Park Service alleges, sending one man to the hospital with heat-related illness. “Death Valley is an awe-inspiring place that demands our utmost respect and preparedness,” Superintendent Mike Reynolds said in a statement. The pair walked about another mile to paved Badwater Road, where they walked an additional 12 miles (19 kilometers) north, the Park Service said.

New York CNN —DirecTV has dropped Newsmax, a right-wing TV network, from its channel lineup over a carriage fee dispute. “We continually evaluate the most relevant programming to provide our customers and expect to fill this available channel with new content,” DirecTV said. Newsmax noted it offers its feed for free on its website, on YouTube and on multiple streaming platforms such as Roku, so viewers with DirecTV service will still be able to watch. Newsmax responded to getting the boot by accusing DirecTV of bias and censorship. “This is a blatant act of political discrimination and censorship against Newsmax,” CEO Christopher Ruddy said in a statement that was posted on Newsmax’s website.

☆ Deputat de la Chșinău, îndemn la precauție pentru România: Există unioniști adevărați și așa-ziși unioniști în R. Moldova. Pretinșii sunt și în partidele proeuropene

ReUnirea se va face cu oameni inteligenți și consecvenți și nu prin declarații răsunătoare și obositoare despre Unire. Unionismul în R. Moldova este o chestiune veche, susține deputatul, însă au existat și există mulți profitori. „E o chestiune mult prea veche și mult prea sensibilă aici, în Basarabia. ReUnirea se va face cu oameni inteligenți și consecvenți și nu prin declarații răsunătoare și obositoare despre Unire. Marile proiecte integraționiste românești și europene fac diferența și ne apropie efectiv de Romania și de Uniunea Europeană”, spune Reniță în interviul pentru sursa citată.
