Psychedelic Research Mega-Thread

[Leo Gura]

I need your help compiling a list of the best psychedelic research.

Link here videos, articles, studies. Scientific & clinical stuff. Data, charts, etc.

I want to get a better understanding of how psychedelics affect average people.

John Hopkins is a great place for psychedelic research (I'm applying there for college)

@Leo Gura Perhaps you should tell us more about how to take psychedelics legally.

The Secret Chief Revealed

This is a book, an interview, with a Leo Zeff. Leo was a psychoanalyst who came across psychedelics and left his previous profession in order to offer psychedelic therapy. 

Although psychedelics were banned in the US, Leo continued his sessions underground introducing many other therapists to his methods and leading thousands of people into the psychedelic state.

His main tool was LSD, but he also worked with substances such as psylocybin, mescaline, MDMA, MDA, ibogain and others.

Working with so many people over so many years he developed some interesting ideas and methods how best to conduct psychedelic sessions. This short book is full of his wisdom and experiences. Although not an official research per say, I found it very valuable, informative and inspirational.

@okulele You should have linked the official pdf instead of a $300 paperback version  https://maps.org/images/pdf/books/scr/scr.pdf

[okulele]

@Girzo Yeah I found that on google also, but I am not sure if that's not a mistake and if you are not supposed to pay to have access to that page. If you go to https://maps.org/images/pdf/books/, you see that they ask you to buy the book.

@okulele You can always donate MAPS however much you think the book was worth.

A recent discussion with Rick Doblin (founder of MAPS) about the latest psychedelic therapy and his vision for the future. Whilst most of their current research is being done with MDMA, they have plans for other psychedelics in the near future. 

Much of the talk is about Ricks's personal journey, but during the last 30 mins or so they talk about Rick's/MAPS future vision, how he sees things playing out in the coming years, his short term plans for psychedelic clinics, and his long term plans for publicly open clinics where anyone can go and get psychedelics.

There are a lot of possibilities to take psychedelics legally:

- Research chemicals which aren't illegal yet (but could be a long-term health risk as they aren't well studied yet)

- Visit a country where it's legal (Canada, Mexico,... for 5meo)(Netherlands and other countries for truffels, seeds,...)

- Psychedelics retreats: There are many countries where retreats with for example 5meo-dmt, ayahusca, mushrooms is legal or at least a grey area (e.g. Brazil and some european countries)

- Being a guinea pig for scientific research 

- There are A LOT of natural psychedelics (some of which even naturally grow in your country) which aren't illegal in many countries
