22.01.2022 Uncovering the origins of 5-MeO-DMT has stressed our need to research this new and highly promising medicine, however anticipating its rise in popularity Hamilton Morris maintains a focus on ethically and sustainably sourcing the compound. Best known to be extracted from a Sonoran Desert toad aka, Bufo alvarius, 5-MeO-DMT, and its subsequent reputation pose a risk and potential threat to the species. Ken Nelson has now been revealed as the correct author of the well-known pa...mphlet, Bufo Alvarius: The Psychedelic Toad of the Sonoran, and efforts to continue his legacy by providing a synthetic method for 5-MeO-DMT have motivated Morris’ latest works. Nelson, a psychedelic researcher, environmentalist, and staunch conservationist explored far beyond just the extraction methods for 5-MeO-DMT and focused his attention on protecting the species. Are we morally obligated to use synthetic methods for 5-MeO-DMT in future research or does it compromise the integrity of the compound? https://buff.ly/2NkvLWZ @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates, and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.

19.01.2022 Antidepressants and psychotherapy are the leading forms of treatment for over 17 million Americans who are diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) however, a recent study has proved their effectiveness to be minimal. Psilocybin therapy as a treatment for MDD has been granted breakthrough therapy status for the second time in the US. According to the FDA, this indicates that early evidence from the drug shows major improvements over the already available therapies. T...hus, lengthy processes could be fast-tracked. Could psilocybin be the answer for MDD? https://buff.ly/3pkjKPg @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.

13.01.2022 If the TGA reclassifies MDMA and psilocybin, Australia would be the first country in the world to recognise these drugs as legitimate medicines. What seems like a momentous step in the right direction for psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) might actually be a major setback for all our hard work. Australia has the potential to lead the world with revolutionary treatments for mental health conditions using PAP, although concerns regarding a response from the TGA applic...ation next month pose a threat to the safety, equity, and sustainability of future treatments in Australia. Here’s why. https://buff.ly/2YaSt6c @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.

11.01.2022 The pivotal mental state is described in a mind-blowing new scientific paper that looks at how drugs can reroute people out of psychological dead ends. According to Robin Carhart-Harris, co-writer of the Pivotal Mental States journal, this new construct provides an important evolutionary function, defined as a hyper-plastic state aiding rapid and deep learning that can mediate psychological transformation. Carhart-Harris claims pivotal mental states also occur independe...ntly on a much smaller scale when induced by chronic stress or neurotic personalities, however when accessed through psychedelics under therapeutic supervision, one can experience major shifts in thought patterns and behaviours, increasing opportunities for change and growth. https://buff.ly/2KkqU6r @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.

10.01.2022 Ever wondered what therapy with psychedelics actually looks like? Alan Davis, a researcher at Johns Hopkins University explains what this medically controlled treatment involves. careful dose control, supervision, and controlled settings are very important. The patient can expect a relaxed setting involving headphones, music, and a blindfold while lying down. For psilocybin, sessions can last anywhere from four to six hours and are effective immediately. If psychedelic-ass...isted psychotherapy was legally accessible to you, would you consider it over the current forms of medication for treating mental health conditions? https://buff.ly/2NEzChT @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.

10.01.2022 Efforts to combat mental health remain our biggest challenge when cultural influences dominate scientific evidence. Our battle against mental health is heading down a dark path. Revolutionary treatment options such as psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy continue to present, however, our biggest barrier towards healing is resisting social stigma. Psychedelics are very disruptive scientifically to our assumptions about paradigms in mental health, says Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris.... When economic prospects and scientific cures are outweighed by old patterns of thinking, how long will take for psychedelics to enter the mainstream healthcare system in Australia? https://buff.ly/3oSN2nJ @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.

05.01.2022 market researcher Data Bridge recently projected that the psychedelics sector could bring in a whopping $6.85 billion by 2027. As global mental health statistics rise, so do the developments of investors for medicinal psychedelics. Although progress in Australia remains sluggish, the US and the UK have seen significant increases in venture capital, and some are predicting huge funds for future psychedelic research in FDA approved clinical trials. https://buff.ly/39j7AAS... @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.

05.01.2022 A [baby] step out of the shadows for Australia, as trials for psychedelic and MDMA treatments prepare to commence in 2021. For decades, Australian researchers and medical professionals have long-awaited the initiation of clinical trials for treatments in mental health with psychedelics. And although we’re heading in the right direction, there could still be lengthy delays. Dr. Stephen Bright, founder of Psychedelic Research in Science and Medicine (PRISM) declared that none o...f the Australian trials had received government funding and that there was little incentive for pharmaceutical companies to back this research. If psychedelics aren’t integrated into the Australian health care system appropriately, future treatments might only be accessible for the rich. @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.

04.01.2022 Psychedelics offer the "only possibility of a cure for post-traumatic stress disorder" Admiral Chris Barrie, former Defence Force chief. About one in five Australians have a lived experience either as a sufferer or a carer of someone with PTSD. Following a devastating year of bushfires and the pandemic, these numbers have risen. Mr. Barrie, who is also a chair of FearLess - a charity that helps people with PTSD states that "at the moment people might use drugs or they might u...se meditation or exercise or diet to exercise control, but it actually doesn't make the problem go away. If we can get a cure through the use of these drugs by bringing them into proper use, then we are offering them hope and that would just be fabulous." https://buff.ly/2Kot9pP @PRISMNews initiates, coordinates, and supports formal research into medicinal psychedelics and consciousness.
