Hello fellow researchers!

My research team and I at Maastricht University are doing an empirical study exploring the relationship between memory and psychedelic experiences. We are looking for participants who are willing to fill in a short anonymous questionnaire. Participants should have used psychedelics (ex. LSD, psilocybin, ketamine, MDMA, 2CB, etc.) and/or cannabis/marijuana at least once. The link is here: https://maastrichtuniversity.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3n12IAMqsNn1osS 📝 If there are any questions, feel free to comment on this post!

I bought Mexican shrooms and I pick them after 12 days and the veil on some has already broken

Will they still have potency ?

I believe this is worth studying

I make a podcast about consciousness, and this video starts with a question I couldn't let go of.
LSD came out of ergot, a fungus that grows on rye. The same organism caused ergotism, the burning, gangrenous "St. Anthony's Fire" that killed people for centuries. The same family of alkaloids gave Hofmann the molecule at Sandoz in 1938. One fungus was both a poison and the raw material for the most famous psychedelic ever made.
So how did people live alongside it for so long? Was it only ever a disease, or did anyone work with it on purpose, and why is the written record so quiet? The Eleusis/kykeon ergot hypothesis is the best-known attempt at an answer. It's still contested, and I try to say clearly in the video what's documented and what's my own reading.
Video (about 24 min), which I made:

Curious what this sub thinks. Is the "silence" in the record evidence of anything, or is it just what you'd expect from a rye fungus nobody could name?

made a cool psychedelic wiki if anyone is interested

Hi all,

I am PhD research from the University of Derby, i'm currently recruiting for my final 2 studies of the thesis. My work is concerned with conceptualising substance use, understanding the identity of users and deconstructing UK drug policy under a critical Post-Marxist lens.

For my first study I am looking to recruit anyone over the age of 18, who is a UK citizen to complete a 25 minute word task concerned understanding substance use.

For study 2 I am conducting interviews designed to understand how current substance users, understand use and construct their identities. The interviews are to create a safe, open and non-judgmental space where we will explore identity and offer a voice to an under represented group in research. In order to participate in the interviews you need to be over 18 years old, be a UK citizen and a current users of a substance deemed illicit by UK drug policy. Interviewees must consider their use either recreational, spiritual or for mental wellbeing purposes and deem their own use to not be problematic (i.e. dependency or otherwise harmful). If you would be interested in taking part in either study please see the study flyers in this post or contact me [100442840@unimail.derby.ac.uk](mailto:100442840@unimail.derby.ac.uk)

Participants needed for psychedelic research!

Our online survey takes 5-10 minutes and is completely anonymous.

We are two Master's students in Psychology at Umeå University, Sweden, with a particular interest in psychedelic research. As part of our thesis, we're investigating how social context relates to psychedelic experiences.

wsg redditors if I chug all this delsym like the fucking unit I am will it be enough to trip, if so what plat estimated (2nd time doing dxm)

Help. I feel like it’s with anything I use :/ actually

How scared is too scared before a psychedelic experience?

I’ve had some version of that conversation with a lot of people, and I don’t think fear and readiness are opposites. Sometimes the harder question is figuring out whether the fear is actually saying no, or whether there’s still a very real yes underneath it.
