We’d love to answer your questions about M**A, psilocybin and psychedelic assisted therapy and integration: Let’s start with 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (M**A)!

💥Q. How long will it take to feel the first effects of M**A?

💥A. A person may experience the effects of M**A within 45 minutes or so after taking a single dose. Effects include feeling happy, energetic, alert, and closer to others. In addition, people report increased sensitivity to sights, sounds, touch, and smells.

Lets at least decriminalize at a nationwide level!

The move from Schedule I to Schedule II classification would open treatment options for terminally ill patients.

Integration is the real work in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy.

🌟A testimonial from a client.🌟

"Thank you so much for being my Guide in these amazing inward journeys. You have helped me feel:
More at home in my body.
More at peace in my heart.
More integrated in mind body and spirit.
More emotionally stable.
More at peace with the world in which I move and interact with.
More love and compassion for myself and for others.
More mindful of the little daily things I can do to lovingly take care of myself by eating more mindfully, drinking way less alcohol and supporting myself in sleeping better.
I am so grateful for you and your support in this sometimes challenging but always rewarding inner work.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."

“Every step of my journey with psychedelic medicine, whether clear or confusing, has been crucial for growth, revealing truths only as I became ready.
Healing chronic childhood trauma through psychedelic-assisted therapy resembles piecing together a puzzle, each piece fitting in as previous ones laid the groundwork. With time, integration, and trust in myself and my therapist, my brain shifts its perspective on trauma, replacing darkness with light.
For those with chronic trauma, like me, the healing path may be long, but it is justified by the relief and understanding it brings. Despite the challenges, there is a light at the tunnel’s end I never expected to see. I’ve started to process the impact of past abuse and realize my worth isn’t tied to it. Through this, I’ve found safety within myself that traditional therapy couldn’t provide. I am eternally grateful for this transformative work.“

Inspired by Indigenous practices, Mikaela de la Myco has collected stories of mothers who say psilocybin helped them during pregnancy. US scientists are skeptical

Classical psychedelics like L*D, psilocybin, and mescaline are long thought to work primarily by activating the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor.

However, a new comprehensive study shows their pharmacology is much broader than previously known.

By profiling these molecules across 318 receptors, scientists uncovered strong activity at nearly every serotonin, dopamine, and adrenergic receptor tested.

The study also demonstrated that these psychedelics stimulate distinct signaling pathways downstream of 5-HT2A, each associated with behavioral responses.

This suggests their therapeutic benefits and hallucinogenic effects may arise from distinct, separable mechanisms.

Understanding these complex interactions could pave the way for safer, more targeted treatments for mental health disorders.

Classical psychedelics like L*D, psilocybin, and mescaline are known for activating the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor, but a new study reveals their effects go far beyond.

“Two years into collecting survey responses, Mikaela and her colleagues know their work is nowhere near over. But she feels like they have reached an inflection point as they begin collaborating with a doctoral student to redo the survey structure and submit proposals to publish the work in a peer-reviewed research journal.

The team aims to collect stories from twice as many mothers. Mikaela is also eager to continue following the families they have already connected with, to better understand their long-term experiences.

Mikaela doesn’t know whether the scientific community will come to embrace “community research” on women’s health that integrates Indigenous knowledge. At a moment where each of those subjects is tied up in complex political narratives and disinformation campaigns, the path ahead might be thorny. But she’s pressing on all the same.”

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that psilocybin improved cell longevity and boosted survival in aged mice. Lab-grown cells exposed to psilocin lived longer and showed better stress resistance.
