But though this mode of therapy would become closely identified with Osmond and Hoffer, they themselves credited someone else for critical elements of its design, a man of considerable mystery with no formal training as a scientist or therapist: Al Hubbard. A treatment space decorated to feel more like a home than a hospital came to be known as a Hubbard Room, and at least one early psychedelic researcher told me that this whole therapeutic regime, which is now the norm, should by all rights be known as "the Hubbard method". Yet Al Hubbard, a.k.a. "Captain Trips" and "the Johnny Appleseed of LSD", is not the kind of intellectual forebear anyone doing serious psychedelic science today is eager to acknowledge, much less celebrate.
In conclusion, MDMA and psilocybin show potential as therapeutic agents in highly selected populations when administered in closely supervised settings with intensive support. Evidence appears strongest for MDMA. By contrast, randomised findings for psilocybin are largely limited to short-term follow-up data prior to cross-over
