What industry conspiracy are you trying to insinuate? Is it big pharma? Doubt it. Guess who would ultimately own the labs, run the clinical trials, and be first to market with a safe and precise FDA approved antidepressant based on a psychedelic active ingredient. Let's not forget LSD started as a research chemical in a drug r&d lab in Switzerland. Industry never wanted it criminalized.
It's not a good look to rationalise away all bad news as "paid hit piece".
