In the current second major wave of psychedelic research, psilocybin has received much more attention than LSD. Two relevant reasons for this are the shorter effects of psilocybin and the negative stigma attached to LSD. But as… Read more

Webinar Nov 18th, 2024 Balázs Szigeti: Is psychedelic citizen science the future? - One of the key challenges related to researching psychedelics is the high cost involved.
