In April 2016, a team of researchers conducted the first modern brain imaging study on the effects of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). The researchers scanned 15 participants while they were on LSD versus a placebo. Among many things, they found that brain regions that are normally relatively distinct increased their communication. This increase in global connectivity correlated with the...

People have been familiar with substances we now call “mind-altering,” “hallucinogenic,” or “psychedelic” “drugs” since ancient times. These drugs are the natural products of a variety of plants and belong, from a chemical viewpoint, in the class of organic compounds called “alkaloids.” From a medical viewpoint, the most familiar and most important alkaloids are apomorphine, atropine, cocaine,...

Introduction. The complex multifaceted essence of human as a biological, psychological, social being has attracted the attention of researchers and has caused hot debates during centuries. Still now, human being, her/his nature requires a broader understanding in the context of the synthesis of long-standing philosophical, psychological, religious traditions and contemporary sciences. Purpose....

In a large-scale ( N = 1487) general population online study, we investigated the relationship between past experience with classic psychedelic substances (e.g. LSD, psilocybin, mescaline), nature relatedness, and ecological behavior (e.g. saving water, recycling). Using structural equation modeling we found that experience with classic psychedelics uniquely predicted self-reported engagement...

Therapeutic interest in augmentation of 5-hydroxytryptamine2A (5-HT2A) receptor signaling has been renewed by the effectiveness of psychedelic drugs in the treatment of various psychiatric conditions. In this study, we have further characterized the pharmacological properties of the recently developed 5-HT2 receptor agonist N-2-hydroxybenzyl)-2,5-dimethoxy-4-cyanophenylethylamine (25CN-NBOH)...

Abstract Objective This paper describes the misrepresentation of LSD at Portugal's Boom Festival 2014 and the prevention of unintentional consumption of DOx and 25x‐NBOMe among LSD consumers attending a drug‐checking service. Methods Two hundred forty‐five drug samples expected to contain LSD were submitted to the drug‐checking service for chemical analysis. One hundred ten post‐test...

Plant-based psychedelics, such as psilocybin, have an ancient history of medicinal use. After the first English language report on LSD in 1950, psychedelics enjoyed a short-lived relationship with psychology and psychiatry. Used most notably as aids to psychotherapy for the treatment of mood disorders and alcohol dependence, drugs such as LSD showed initial therapeutic promise before...

Tema y alcance: el objetivo de esta revisión es presentar los estudios químicos que se han realizado sobre Salvia divinorum E&J en estos últimos años. Características: desde la década de 1990 hasta hoy se ha incrementado la distribución y el uso de Salvia divinorum E&J para “fines recreativos”, debido a sus efectos alucinógenos y a su fácil acceso. Sus efectos en el organismo se han relacionado...

As recently noted by Strauss, Bright and Williams 1, while much of the Western world has been experiencing a renaissance in research into ‘psychedelic science’ over the past decade 2, there has been no such research conducted in Australia. In Europe and the USA, studies have been conducted into lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) that have improved our understanding of brain function 3 and reduced...

This research investigated how psychedelics and music work together in the brain and modulate subjective experience. Chapter 1 highlighted the prominent role of music in psychedelic therapy in the 1950s and 1960s, and how music continues to be used in modern psychotherapeutic trials with psychedelics. Although ‘psychedelic therapy’ shows promising findings for mental health care, little is...
