Unless you look at the other psychedelic with breakthrough status - MDMA, which Rick Doblin has brought through clinical trials as a non-profit.

Doblin has no profit motive and is stoked with his $70k a year salary. His goal is changing culture, that is his motive.

MAPS’ MDMA is also commercialised by a for profit company.

As far as I know, the company is independent and not the Mozilla approach (Mozilla Foundstion owns Mozilla corporation).

A for profit company that is wholly owned by the MAPS non-profit.

I know Rick Doblin and have donated a good amount of money to MAPS.

There is no comparison between maps and compass.

Believe it or not, some people just want to make the world a better place.

Profit motive _can_ help to motivate people if there is a lack of motivation. However, it is not true that there _must_ be profit motive.

Right now, there is no lack of motivation to get this stuff out there. It is the questionable government prohibition that is holding things back.

The experts/critics seem to be questioning that motivation. They're implying that profit-motive (regardless of any other motive) is inherently bad.

The "crunchy-granola" dog whistle in another thread is telling. Psychedelics and FOSS histories are intertwined. If that doesn't register, you're in for a bummer of a trip. The article seemed to do a pretty good job of exposing C.O.M.P.A.S.S./Compass for the exploitive carpetbaggers they appear to be.

Can you cite an instance of this?
