Psychedelics Today

California just passed AB 1103, a law championed by veterans, to fast-track psychedelic research for PTSD, traumatic brain injury, addiction and more. After years of delays, this bill cuts weeks off the approval process for trials of psilocybin, ibogaine and MDMA – giving scientists a head start to help those who can’t wait. Veterans like Marcus Capone say ibogaine saved their life; Amber Capone calls this a pivotal moment for science and mental health. With thousands of veterans dying by suicide each year, California is sending a signal: the clock is ticking.

Dr. Rosalind Watts joins Psychedelics Today to reflect on her decade of work with psilocybin therapy and her focus on building community-based integration practices.

The Integration Circle Presents: Pathways to the Goddess: The Archetypal Feminine and the Psychedelic experience The archetypal feminine is inseparable from the psychedelic experience. showing up through emotions, image and direct connection. The archetypal feminine shows herself in many forms such as goddess or mother, defying norms and illusions, bringing death and rebirth, comfort and love. Entheogenic and psychedelic experiences can help us connect to this archetype as it lives in our personal psyche as well as its manifestation in the collective unconscious and transpersonal. This seminar invites experienced professionals to discuss how psychedelic experiences can provide a relationship with the archetype feminine. This Seminar will explore ayahuasca and somatic embodiment, psychedelics and the goddess, the dark feminine in psychedelics, a new model of postpartum care for mothers and much more.

What if facing death made you live more fully? 🦊🌳 New research comparing ayahuasca veterans to non-users finds those who have embraced the brew dozens of times fear death less and accept it more. The difference isn’t belief in heaven but a mindset of impermanence born from experiences of ego dissolution. Before you book a ceremony, note that the study used healthy, experienced participants and some denial mechanisms remained — but it offers food for thought. How do you relate to death?⁠ ⁠ Share your thoughts: Does confronting impermanence change how you live?

🌐✨ When AI meets psychedelics. Mindstate Design Labs is using artificial intelligence and insights from 70,000 trip reports to create MSD-01 – a "psychedelic" compound designed to deliver mental-health benefits without hallucinations. In a small trial, participants felt heightened emotions and vivid imagination but no trip, while brain scans still resembled those on psilocybin. Mindstate calls it the "psychedelic tofu" that can be paired with other molecules for tailored therapeutic states. But some experts argue that the hallucinatory journey is part of the healing. What do you think—can we decouple the benefits from the trip? 🤔⁠ ⁠ Share your thoughts: Would you try an AI-designed psychedelic?

Artist and designer Jennifer Espenscheid joins Joe Moore on Psychedelics Today to discuss the intersection of creativity, healing, and psychedelics—and how art becomes a daily practice of awareness. 🎧 Listen now: http://bit.ly/3JvPhgy

Imagine strapping on a VR headset and stepping into a digital dreamscape where landscapes swirl and colors melt—no illegal substances required. Italian researchers have built “cyberdelic” experiences using AI to mimic the visuals and cognitive effects of psychedelics. In a small study, volunteers who watched 10-minute trippy videos felt more creative and mentally flexible. That’s exciting for people with depression or PTSD who might benefit from altered states without taking drugs. Still, VR can cause motion sickness, and we don’t yet know if it taps into the same brain circuits. Let’s keep exploring, but stay honest about the science. Could digital trips be the future of healing? Study: https://lnkd.in/dd2Kb7DQ Share your thoughts: Would you try a cyberdelic session?
