The primary objective of this study is to investigate the serum pharmacokinetics of 5-MeO-DMT and its metabolite, bufotenine in healthy volunteers in a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study design with single, inhaled doses of GH001 and in an open-label, non-randomized study design with intra-subject dose-escalation of GH001.
As a secondary objective, the safety and tolerability of GH001, the mental health and well-being of the subjects after GH001 dosing(s), the pharmacodynamic profile of GH001 as evaluated by its psychoactive effects, and cognitive measures are also assessed.

Evaluation of the peak experience scale as a rapid assessment tool for the strength of a psychoactive experience with 5-MeO-DMTThis data analysis of three studies (n=84) validates a three-item Peak Experience Scale (PES) for rapidly assessing 5-MeO-DMT experiences, demonstrating that the scale shows strong internal consistency (Cronbach's α=0.896), correlates highly with established psychedelic experience measures (MEQ-30, EDI, 5D-ASC), and could effectively guide dosing regimens for rapid-acting psychedelics.
