Psilocybin and other psychedelics are not currently approved for the use of treatment, but they can be studied within the context of a clinical trial. Our Center focuses on conducting research studies on psychedelics, which includes studying the potential therapeutic benefits and effects of psychedelics.

For more information, links to our current studies can be found here. Each link will provide additional information about the study and instructions on how to apply.

The field of psychedelics is growing, and quickly, too. If you are interested in a career in psychedelic research, you may be interested in reading an article written by Dr. Albert Garcia-Romeu, “Making your Mark in the Psychedelic Renaissance.” You may also check out R. Andrew Sewell’s article “So, you want to be a psychedelic researcher?” To see which labs are currently conducting clinical trials with psychedelics, search clinicaltrials.gov.

If you are interested in seeking out clinical training, we encourage you to search the web for the various psychedelic clinical training programs that currently exist.

Currently, in the United States, psilocybin-therapy is only legally available through an FDA approved clinical trial.

Research on psychedelic substances has grown rapidly over the past few years, and there are several locations where the effects of psychedelic substances are being studied. To view a list of all ongoing psychedelic studies, visit clinicaltrials.gov and search key terms (e.g., psilocybin, MDMA, psychedelics, etc.). Each listing provides information about the study, the location, and contact information.

Generally, our clinical trials require multiple in-person visits, so people who live within reasonable driving distance are preferred. Some trials do accept people from out-of-state. If you have questions or would like to confirm, please reach out to us via the contact form below.
