I never suggested that the dose be ad-hoc, nor implied that we should just give people psychedelics to take home and hope for the best.
"One time cure" is indeed not accurate, today, but as a shorthand it captures the promise of psychedelic treatments. A single session can give benefits lasting many months, and some people may remit entirely. This is why more research is needed.
>I'm sure the vast majority of people would prefer a daily pill that has no cognitive distortions.
These don't exist. Existing psychological medication, not unsurprisingly, often comes with severe cognitive distortions - far worse than a single psychedelic trip every few months.
