What are psychedelics? Psychedelics and Mental Health
The Psychedelic Renaissance promises to revolutionize mental health through the use of psychedelics, but what exactly are psychedelics? The relationship between psychedelics and mental health has been studied since the 1940s. As we discussed in our post on the Psychedelic Renaissance, the excess of uncontrolled recreational use and a campaign to discredit the cultural movement to which they were linked caused research on their effects on mental health to be abandoned in most universities.
