Johns Hopkins University Psychedelic Research Unit

The Johns Hopkins University Psychedelic Research Unit is a scientific program dedicated to studying how substances like psilocybin (found in "magic mushrooms") and other psychedelics can be safely used in medical and therapeutic settings. Their research aims to understand how these substances affect the brain and consciousness, explore their potential to treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD, and establish evidence-based practices. The unit combines rigorous scientific methods with clinical trials to ensure safe, effective applications, advancing knowledge about psychedelics’ role in mental health treatment.
