Transforming Lives Through the Power of Nature
Our mission is to advance the conversation around psychedelics with integrity, empathy and evidence. Our work empowers people to navigate their own health journeys, especially when conventional treatments fall short.
Research
We’re building a collection of real-world psychedelic data, with insight from personal, ceremonial and therapeutic settings.
Education
Science-backed downloads, blogs and calls to our Psychedelic Info Line offer guidance for anyone learning about psychedelics.
Advocacy
Our research educates communities, reflects lived experiences, amplifies marginalized voices and informs public policy.
We’re focused on people: their patterns, their healing journeys, their questions, their risks and their potential. Our naturalistic research explores how psychedelics are being used in everyday life. This work captures insights that often fall through the cracks of traditional science, especially in communities that have historically been excluded from research altogether.
Our Roots
Unlimited Sciences was founded through lived experience. Personal, powerful and deeply human, our inspiration grew from an organization already changing lives: Realm of Caring.
In 2013, Heather Jackson founded Realm of Caring when her son was placed in hospice care. Born out of urgency and a mother’s determination, Realm of Caring is a pioneering nonprofit that supports families using cannabinoid therapies with cutting-edge research and compassion. It remains a trusted resource for thousands of people navigating complex health challenges.
The Journey Begins
Years later, Heather’s son’s seizures returned. It was a profound turning point: something Heather describes as a “dark night of the soul.” In that moment of crisis, healing and searching, she and co-founder Del Jolly came together to build something new for the psychedelic space.
Unlimited Sciences began with a simple but powerful intention: to seek understanding, foster healing and open the door to personal and collective expansion. Over time, these founding principles became our core values: learn, heal, expand. They continue to guide the organization and drive our impact.
Where Science Meets Soul
Our collaboration with Realm of Caring still continues today. Their pioneering work in patient advocacy and naturalistic cannabis data collection taught us that science is most powerful when it’s personal.
That’s why we prioritize the voices and experiences of real people using psychedelics as natural medicine. Because true healing unfolds beyond the lab: in living rooms, communities and sacred spaces.
We’re building a bridge between personal healing and public knowledge because we believe the future of psychedelics should be informed, accessible and empowering.
Key Milestones
Since 2018, we’ve been breaking new ground in psychedelic research and education, one study at a time.
Heather Jackson, founder of Realm of Caring, joined forces with Del Jolly to create Unlimited Sciences, expanding from cannabis therapies into psychedelics.
In partnership with John Hopkins University, Unlimited Sciences began the largest naturalistic psilocybin study in 2020.
Unlimited Sciences began researching ayahuasca in Summer 2022 by starting a study with immigrants and refugees of North African and Middle Eastern origin.
In a collaboration with Realm of Caring and Lily's Lighthouse, Unlimited Sciences started exploring functional mushrooms in January 2024, studying Reishi and Lion's Mane mushrooms in relation to epilepsy.
Values that Drive Our Impact
Learn
Everyone deserves access to trusted, evidence-based information about psychedelics. We make learning easier by providing clear, reliable resources to support informed choices.
Heal
When conventional treatments fall short, psychedelics and alternative therapies offer hope. We’re reshaping the future of healing by advancing natural medicine research.
Expand
Psychedelic research often overlooks marginalized voices. We’re expanding the field by ensuring under-represented communities aren’t just included, but centered in the science.
