Every month we take a close look at a recent psychedelic paper. Blossom has partnered with Lucid News to dive deep into the most exciting research each month. Not only do we put a recent paper in context, but we also cover the best and worst aspects of the paper and the wider scientific communities’ reactions.
Psychedelic experiences can often be life-changing and transformative. If used carefully, psychedelics can help shake old habits, find renewed meaning, and strengthen relationships. But these experiences can also be challenging to integrate into daily life. They can bring about feelings of anxiety, confusion, and existential crisis.

Microdosing is becoming more popular every day. From Hollywood to small towns all across the word. Is there scientific merit to it, or all placebo? And does a new paper prove the benefits of microdosing?
Monthly Psychedelic Research Column
What is the impact of psychedelic research? And how are we to interpret the results of the latest hyped research paper? Each month we, in cooperation with Lucid News, take a sharp look at a high-profile (or under-highlighted) research paper.
We explain the findings, examine the weak points, recall earlier research, and gather opinions around the community.
