As awareness of and attitudes toward drug checking can impact uptake, the present study examined these variables and associated determinants among Australian university residential college...
A resurgent therapeutic frontier, the contemporary renaissance in psychedelic science has accelerated investigation of classic serotonergic psychedelics (psilocybin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT), mescaline), empathogenic entactogenic agents (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)), and glutamatergic dissociatives (ketamine) as adjuncts to psychotherapy.
