A Note from the Editor

If you’re a podcast or radio fan, it’s a great time to be interested in psychedelics. Right now, you can listen to season 2 of the Altered States podcast, catch an episode on the evidence base for psychedelic medicine over at Undark, and enjoy a BBC Radio 4 segment on psychedelics for mental health hosted by Chris and Xand van Tulleken.

If you prefer to consume your media with your eyeballs, psychedelic scientist Manoj Doss and colleagues published a feature on ‘what we know, and what we think we know’ regarding how psychedelics affect the brain in The Scientist. Elsewhere, we published our latest Bulletin, which included our Dispatch from the Borealis Psychedelic Science Summit as well as updates from across the field.

On Wednesday, we unveiled our latest resource: The Psychedelic Perceptions Tracker. We combed through opinion polls, surveys, government reports, and other datasets to produce a curated series of headline figures, charts, and data visualisations on how various groups perceive and interact with psychedelics.

This coming week, we again have something new to share: The Psychedelic Practitioner, a publication designed specifically for therapists, clinicians, facilitators, and other professionals working with—or preparing to work with—psychedelic therapies and psychedelic-based treatments. Keep an eye out in your inbox for that first Issue next week.

Anyhow, without further ado: Here’s your Psychedelic News Feed, a one-stop digest for the latest coverage of psychedelics business, policy, research and beyond.
