The course starts from the ground up in our explorations of psychedelics. What are psychedelics? Where did the term come from? We’ll discuss various types of substances and how they are characterized based on their structure and function. A trip back in time will give you a broad view of the rich and extensive history of plant medicines. For millennia, cultures have been shaped by mind-altering compounds, and the modern world is now once again in pursuit to incorporate psychedelics into society for medicinal and spiritual purposes.This history of psychedelics is as rich and complex as the studies being conducted today. From their use in indigenous ceremonies to early research, these substances have been both revered and feared.For thousands of years humans have ingested psychoactive mushrooms in various contexts for healing and spiritual purposes. Psilocybin, the active ingredient in “magic mushrooms”, is now being tested in clinical trials as treatment for depression, alcohol use disorders, nicotine dependence, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, cluster and migraine headaches, and anxiety related to life-threatening illnesses.This course and its modules provide a comprehensive summary of the Dealer’s licensing requirements, pharmacology and effects of psilocybin and other psychedelics, how they work in the brain, and why individuals experience sensory perceptual shifts. Candidates will gain knowledge on protocols, safety and efficacy results, study participant accounts, and potential risks in both medical and non-medical settings. Designed by leading psychedelic researchers and medical professionals, this course offers a balanced and unbiased presentation of the effects and safety of psilocybin.
