Floris Wolswijk April has been a slow month (probably related to COVID-19). There are many ongoing trials with ketamine and researchers should note them and not only look at finished studies to determine their research direction. Microdosing psychedelics remains interesting, yet not studied in a very controlled way.
In the implementation of psychedelics as medicine, the implemenation is key | Medicalisation will become a reality soon
This is all the other psychedelic research that came out in April 2020.
Psilocybin has been made in yeast in the lab, which could mean even easier (and more accessible) production and distribution of it in the future. A lot of companies keep expanding and MindMed takes the headline a few times. A lot of the research is taking a pause, as COVID-19 ravages through the world.

New evidence piles up for the use of psychedelics in the fight against depression. Classical psychedelics seem to be longer-lasting in their effect than ketamine. And people can be fooled into thinking they are tripping, by carefully manipulating the setting.
Today we’re exploring the size of the truffles industry in The Netherland. It’s an exploration that will take a look at the (web)shops, use prevalence, and the expected market size. Although it’s very difficult to find exact numbers about revenue, this blog should be a starting point and a rough estimate. In the end, there will also be an extrapolation to guestimate worldwide usage and revenue numbers.
Psychedelics and SSRIs are two sides of the same coin. They have different effects on the brain and both can help with depression. This is what we think about them and how they interact.
This is all the other psychedelic research that came out in March 2020.
Although we all want to move the field forward, the two first articles highlight problems going forward. Companies are still making waves and MindMed goes public. Psymposia stays critical as ever about the capitalist moves being made. And a study got people to ‘trip’ in a cleverly designed setting.
