Researchers at The Ohio State University are conducting an innovative new study looking at the effect of the psychedelic drug, psilocybin, in the treatment of Veterans with PTSD. The study requires a lengthy time commitment, and because of this, volunteers must live within commuting distance from Columbus, OH.

Joining us this summer is the team from the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics.
Combining scientific research, training, and public education, the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics (BCSP) is a new interdisciplinary initiative to explore the psychological and biological effects of psychedelic compounds as well as their spiritual and cultural roles. The BCSP: 1) Investigates short- and long-term effects of psychedelics on human cognition, perception, and emotion; 2) Assists in the training of practitioners to support the use of these medicines in culturally appropriate, spiritually significant, and medically safe ways; and 3) Offers authoritative, evidence-based, and culturally inclusive journalism about the field through a public education initiative housed at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

Don't miss the great assembly of psychedelic centers this summer. Register for Psychedemia today!
