Webinar Mon April 7th 2025 Anna Becker: LSD for depression and the effects of SSRIs and ketanserin on psychedelics - At least in the popular culture of the 1950s and 1960s, LSD was almost synonymous with “psychedelic drugs”.

Two relevant reasons for this are the shorter effects of psilocybin and the negative stigma attached to LSD. But as… Read more
