Psychedelic Medicine Firm Pioneers Ayahuasca Pill

Ayahuasca is one of the several psychedelics that have exhibited significant potential as treatment for mental health disorders. Research has revealed that psychedelics such as ayahuasca are capable of alleviating the symptoms of conditions, including treatment-resistant depression and post-traumatic stress disorder, with minimal side effects. However, most of this research is in its infancy, and patients who are interested in psychedelic treatments either have to take part in clinical trials or travel long distances to access institutions that offer psychedelic-assisted therapy. Ayahuasca, for instance, has a rich history in Central and South America and has been traditionally used by some…

Oregon Nonprofit Donates $50,000 in Scholarships for Training Psychedelics Guides

The Healing Advocacy Fund is a nonprofit organization that works to implement high-quality, safe and equitable psychedelic therapy.

Earlier this year, Oregon became the first state in the United States to launch a legal psilocybin medicinal use program. The next day, Oregon Psilocybin Services started accepting applications for five types of licenses: manufacturer, facilitator,…

Combining VR, Psychedelics May Be Effective Therapy

Psychedelic-assisted therapy has emerged as a possible alternative to pharmaceutical psychiatric medications in recent years. A growing body of research has revealed that hallucinogenic drugs such as ketamine, MDMA and psilocybin have therapeutic potential against mental health disorders, including depression and PTSD. When paired with psychotherapy, psychedelics induce profound and long-term benefits relatively quickly and with minimal doses. As the psychedelics for mental health segment is still in its infancy, researchers are still working to develop psychedelic-assisted therapies that could be deployed to the mass market. Some researchers have begun experimenting with virtual reality (VR) to figure out how physicians…

European Union Urged to Play Active Role in Psychedelic Research

In just a few short years, psychedelics have presented themselves as a potential alternative to pharmaceutical mental health therapies. Research into hallucinogenic drugs has revealed that they are capable of alleviating the symptoms of mental disorders, such as treatment-resistant depression, anxiety and PTSD, when paired with psychotherapy. But while countries such as the United States and Australia have taken great strides towards increasing psychedelic research and incorporating psychedelics into existing mental health treatment frameworks, the European Union is still trailing behind. A cross-party group of legislators is now calling on the EU to step up its efforts and act fast…

Studies Explore the Use of Psychedelics in Delaying or Reversing Aging

Aging is the number one cause of suffering and death globally, as noted by Dr. Andrew Steele, who authored a book on longevity. Steele, who’s majored in physics, argues that people could live to 200 if we came up with pharmacological solutions to eliminate the cells that degrade tissue function. One study carried out by scientists at Harvard Medical School found that epigenetics could drive aging in an organism. The research, which used mice models, demonstrated that a breakdown in epigenetic data caused the animals to age. The researchers also observed that reinstating the integrity of the epigenome reversed these…

Why Mescaline Studies Are Few

Scores of studies on the therapeutic potential of psychedelic substances have been conducted these last 20 years, with promising results showing that drugs such as MDMA, LSD and psilocybin may be useful in the treatment of various mental health conditions. These positive findings have fueled the psychedelics decriminalization and legalization movement greatly, despite the fact that the substances are illegal at the federal level. While numerous studies have been done on classic psychedelics, not enough studies have featured mescaline. Mescaline is a naturally occurring psychedelic that induces hallucinogenic effects when consumed. Some pharmacological companies and researchers have been trying to…

New Study Finds That Psilocybin Creates Strong Ties to Nature in Users

Psychedelics have been subject to an increasing amount of research in recent years in the wake of widespread drug reform. Although most psychedelic research is still in its infancy, current studies have revealed that hallucinogenic drugs are capable of inducing profound and long-term insights in users with minimal doses. This makes psychedelics a viable treatment for a variety of mental health disorders, with studies showing that these substances are useful in the treatment and management of symptoms of conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and treatment-resistant depression. Researchers have posited that these benefits are derived from the fact that…

Study Finds That Psilocybin May Reduce Suppressive Thoughts in Depressed Individuals

A surge of psychedelic research over the past decade has revealed what some scientists in the late 1950s and early 19960s suspected: hallucinogens have protective mental health properties. Groundbreaking research in recent years has shown that classic psychedelics such as DMT, psilocybin, ketamine and LSD have the potential to treat severe mental health conditions. And while pharmaceutical medications take days or even weeks of consistent dosing to kick in, psychedelics offer relatively immediate relief from symptoms with minimal doses. Consequently, millions of dollars have been allocated for the research and development of mental treatments that leverage the protective properties of…
