Is Microdosing Psychedelics The Answer to Our Mental Health Crisis?

Around the world, studies are being done with psychedelic drugs in various ways hoping that they might be a silver bullet for the treatment of mental illness.

The Quicky investigates some of the studies being done and asks whether psychedelics could be the key to wellness for some mental illness.
