greetings Unfold, welcome to the nexus!

It's nice to hear you are looking into psychedelic research. Do you have any particular area of interest within this that you would like to pursue? I think it's very difficult to breach the topic of psychedelics in the scientific world because of the stigma that comes with it, and I would think in natural sciences it's even more difficult than in say psychology or related fields.

I recently read in someone elses post that "more scientists should do psychedelics" and that it would somehow help them come to better conclusions. Being a scientist myself I can't really say that it has helped me understand quantum physics better, nor biochemistry, nor the tedious things I do in my job every day... I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if perhaps it just doesn't really work that way... Personally I think psychedelics are very beneficial, just not in a quantifiable manner, as in "bringing results" or the likes. Hence psychedelic research will be difficult to conduct, as soon as one steers away from the purely biological and chemical aspects of it.

But I suppose this is a challenge well worth approaching.

In any case I wish you the best!
