Johns Hopkins Wants To Hear About Your Psychedelic Journeys For New ‘Real-World’ Study

Planning to trip on shrooms anytime soon? If you’re willing to fill out a few surveys, your experience could help chart the future of psychedelic science. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, who have been at the forefront of psychedelics studies in a lab setting, are partnering with a Denver-based nonprofit to gather thousands of real-world experiences with psilocybin, the main psychedelic component of so-called magic mushrooms.

Participants will be asked to take up to five surveys about themselves and their psilocybin experiences—one survey two weeks…
