"very little evidence based backing"

Many studies have been done, not just in vitro but in real people with just about the most severe mental issues there are: severe depression and PTSD, and the results have been positive, and these studies have been published in peer reviewed journals and been well received by the scientific and medical community.

So can you describe what evidence you're looking for and what would satisfy you?

Also, you say you're a practitioner. I wonder what you are a practitioner of exactly. If it's some sort of traditional therapy you should be aware that for PTSD and severe depression the evidence is that traditional therapy is very ineffective. So what would you suggest for those suffering from these conditions if not psychedelic-assisted therapy, which from my reading is actually far more effective for these conditions than traditional therapy?
