The rebirth of psychedelics in the US

Dear readers,

After half-a-century of prohibition, the U.S. is about to legalize psilocybin and MDMA for clinical use, to treat people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or terminal cancer. Scientists, patients, clandestine therapists and war veterans spoke with EL PAÍS about the bright spots and shadows of this rebirth.

We also interviewed Nanna Bonde Thylstrup, a global expert on data loss in the digital age who explains how our societies’ past is in danger, and spoke with Valika Smeulders, head of the history department at the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, about decolonization and the change of perspective in art.

This week's stories also analyze the truth behind "middle child syndrome" and explore the enduring charm of perennial gardens.
