KNOWLEDGE
IS PART OF
HARM REDUCTION.
Psychedelics are complex, and the landscape is evolving quickly.
We’ve gathered a selection of independent resources for learning more about the science, risks, preparation, integration and responsible exploration of psychedelics and expanded states.
START HERE
WEBDELICS
Accessible psychedelic education exploring science, research, substances, mental health, lived experience and the evolving psychedelic landscape.
THIRD WAVE
A broad educational resource covering psychedelic science, preparation, integration, microdosing and emerging practices.
MAPS
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies has played a significant role in psychedelic research, education and public dialogue for decades.
RESEARCH + SCIENCE
NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE
Evidence-based information from the National Institutes of Health on psychedelic and dissociative drugs, including current research, potential therapeutic applications, effects and risks.
JOHNS HOPKINS CENTER FOR PSYCHEDELIC + CONSCIOUSNESS RESEARCH
Research examining psychedelics, consciousness and their potential applications across a range of conditions and areas of human wellbeing.
PREPARATION + INTEGRATION
THE FULL ARC
MATTERS.
The experience itself is only part of the conversation. Intention, mindset, environment, health context and support can shape what happens before, during and after, and how the experience is ultimately carried forward.
THIRD WAVE:
PREPARATION
Articles and conversations exploring preparation, set + setting and considerations before psychedelic experiences.
THIRD WAVE:
INTEGRATION
Resources exploring how insights and
experiences can be reflected upon, embodied and incorporated into everyday life.
SAFETY + SUPPORT
FIRESIDE PROJECT
Free, confidential peer support for people navigating psychedelic experiences or making sense of an experience afterward.
ZENDO PROJECT
Psychedelic harm-reduction education focused on compassionate support and responding skillfully to challenging experiences.
EDUCATION
KEEP LEARNING.
Psychedelic science continues to evolve, and perspectives across research, medicine, psychology, spirituality and lived experience do not always agree. We encourage curiosity, thoughtful questions and consideration of multiple credible sources.
