Here's abother link, this one also advocates pscilocybin as an anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) med. Also the mdma ptsd connection.

So pot, lsd, mdma, and shrooms. Just please for goodness sake, not all at once. No human can stand that level of spaceman highness. You'll go to the moon and not come down for several days.

Hmmm... wonder if peyote helps at all...
