In the Research Briefing of December 20th: 1) New double-blind study doesn’t find benefits of microdosing 2) The negative post-acute effects of MDMA appear to be absent in the clinical setting
To better understand the science of psychedelics, and how we can make the bridge to implementing them in practice, Blossom is conducting a series of interviews with psychedelic scientists. Our editor-at-large, George Fejer, speaks to David Glowacki, one of the world’s leaders in the use of virtual reality applied to scientific simulation and visualization.
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?
How can we marry psychedelic capitalism & reciprocity? | Blossom speaks to Woven Science on their approach to indigenous communities, how they can give back, and provide a template for others to do so.
November proved to be another productive month for psychedelic research. A variety of surveys looked at how psychedelics alter beliefs, reduce opioid use, and the effects of microdosing. A finished Phase I trial clear 5-MeO-DMT for the next step, cannabis intensifies a psychedelic experience, and psychedelics may help with Alzheimer’s.
In the Research Briefing of December 6th: 1) The methodological challenges faced in psychedelic clinical trials (and how to fix them) 2) Mystical experiences in recreational use associated with improvements in wellbeing 3) A novel 5-MeO-DMT formulation proves to be safe in Phase I trial
This is all the other psychedelic research that came out in December 2021.
In the Research Briefing of November 22nd: 1) Those who microdose report lower anxiety & depression 2) Psilocybin therapy increases cognitive and neural flexibility 3) How can psilocybin help decrease craving in alcoholism
In the Research Briefing of November 8th: 1) To patent or not to patent psychedelics 2) Getting psychedelics to a community clinic near you 3) The influence of cannabis on psychedelic experiences
This is all the other psychedelic research that came out in November 2021.
