MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies)

MAPS, or the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, is a non-profit organization dedicated to researching the therapeutic uses of psychedelics, such as MDMA and psilocybin. Founded in 1986, MAPS aims to develop medical, legal, and cultural contexts for these substances to benefit mental health treatment, particularly for trauma-related disorders. The organization conducts clinical trials, advocates for policy changes, and educates the public about the potential benefits and risks associated with psychedelics, promoting a scientifically grounded understanding of their therapeutic potential.
