5-MeO-DMT: Past, Present & Future

In this fascinating series, we will explore the history and science behind 5-methoxy-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeO-DMT), a naturally occurring tryptamine psychedelic used since antiquity for ritual and spiritual purposes. Whilst 5-MeO-DMT bears some similarity to other tryptamine psychedelics, surprisingly little scientific research has explored its properties.

In collaboration with King’s College London and Professor Matthew Johnson of Johns Hopkins University, Beckley PsyTech is undertaking new research to develop our knowledge of this intriguing molecule. Here, we will present a summary of knowledge to date about 5-MeO-DMT and outline plans for the future that should help us better understand its mechanisms and therapeutic possibilities.

Integration Group: January Online Meeting

The Maudsley Psychedelic Society Integration Group provides a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space for those who have used psychedelics or are considering using them. The group is for people who are struggling to make sense of a challenging psychedelic experience, wishing to share a meaningful one or simply interested in learning more about psychedelics and meeting like-minded people.

The group is facilitated by therapists and clinicians who work with psychedelics in clinical trial settings. We aim to provide a safe, confidential, friendly and comfortable space where people can be open about their experiences and share them with others who may help them achieve a more integrated understanding. We acknowledge that recreational use of psychedelics continues despite a long history of criminalisation. The group does not encourage or condone recreational use but we do provide harm minimisation interventions and psychoeducation to those who make their own choice to do this.
