   A Startup Used AI to Make a Psychedelic Without the Trip   
      
   Mindstate Design Labs, backed by Silicon Valley power players, has   
   created what its CEO calls "the least psychedelic psychedelic that's   
   psychoactive."   
      
   While there's growing evidence that psychedelic drugs can effectively   
   treat severe mental health conditions, especially in cases where   
   traditional treatments have failed, they still come with downsides.   
      
   Their hallucinogenic effects can be scary and overwhelming, with   
   dosing sessions lasting several hours. Good treatment is heavily   
   reliant on the individual's mindset going into a session and the   
   environment in which they receive it. And though it's rare,   
   psychedelics can sometimes worsen existing mental illness.   
      
   Mindstate Design Labs is one of a slate of new companies aiming to   
   make safer psychedelics by removing the classic "trip" associated with   
   them. The company is using AI to help design psychedelic-like drugs   
   that induce specific mental states without hallucinations, and its   
   first compound looks promising.
