SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS

we are pioneers in the scientific investigation of psychedelic substances, exploring various research models and different substances. we conducted the world's first randomized clinical trial to test the antidepressant effects of a psychedelic. we carried out the first-ever clinical trial with vaporized DMT. We have over 50 publications about psychedelics in scientific journals
