An obscure and extremely powerful psychedelic drug called 5-MeO-DMT, or BUFO, is drawing intense interest from the pharmaceutical industry, where biotech companies like AtaiBeckley and GH Research are racing to turn it into a commercially available treatment for severe mental health disorders, like depression, anxiety and PTSD.
