Research projectsedit
The Hoasca Project – Hoasca, also known as ayahuasca, is a plant-based beverage used as a component of ritualistic practices in Brazil by the members of UDV, a syncretic religious movement. It is the most comprehensive and in-depth study done on the relationship between ayahuasca and mental health.[8][9][10]
Psilocybin - Charles Grob conducted a study that observed the effect of psilocybin when used by patients with advanced cancer and existential anxiety. From 2004 to 2008, the research group at Harbor–UCLA Medical Center conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled investigation examining the safety and efficacy of psilocybin as a treatment for advanced-cancer anxiety. A total of twelve subjects were studied, all of whom tolerated the experimental treatment without adverse effects.[11][12]
