We were founded to conduct research for the people, by the people and provide data freely to the public for psychedelic education and guidance. Our parent nonprofit, Realm of Caring, has informed 22 states as they worked to legalize cannabis. We’re doing the same for psychedelics.
Our psilocybin study conducted in 2020, is still the largest in the world, with over 8000 participants. Our first publication (of many) from the study has more views than 99% of all published articles.
In partnership with leading institutions such as Johns Hopkins, UCSF, Imperial College London, MIT and Harvard, our research goes beyond the clinical lab to reflect how psychedelics are actually used in everyday life. By analyzing outcomes from lived experience, we’re shaping education, informing public policy, supporting harm reduction and meeting the evolving needs of communities seeking healing through natural medicine.

After non-clinical psilocybin consumption, we observed increases in mind perception across a variety of living and non-living targets (like plants and rocks). However, we found little to no change in metaphysical beliefs or Atheist-Believer status.
This longitudinal study gathered data on ceremonial ayahuasca use in a group of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) immigrants and refugees. Our findings revealed ceremonial use of ayahuasca is associated with significant improvements in mental health, well-being and psychological functioning.
This study of naturalistic psilocybin usage found significant differences in persisting psilocybin effects in the domains of spiritual wellbeing, cognitive flexibility, and expressive suppression for White participants vs. Participants of Color.
We collect data from people using psychedelics in the real world, in therapeutic, ceremonial and private settings. Unlike lab-based trials, analyzing outcomes from lived experience delivers practical data for community support, product development, investment direction and policy change.
