Explore the science and therapeutic potential of psychedelics in this course led by experts from the Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research. You'll learn about the history of psychedelic use, the neuroscience underlying their effects, and the latest clinical trials evaluating their therapeutic potential. Gain insights into their risks and benefits, ethical considerations like informed consent, and ongoing challenges in the field.

This course equips learners to critically assess scientific findings, moving beyond hype to understand the evidence. Whether you're interested in the neurobiological mechanisms of psychedelics, their role in mental health treatment, or broader societal impacts, this course provides a comprehensive and evidence-based foundation. Perfect for students, professionals, or anyone curious about this emerging area of science, the course offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research and practical implications for medicine and beyond.

In this module, we will get oriented. What is a psychedelic anyway? How have they been used historically? When did research begin and what is happening now? To address these questions and more, we will discuss psychedelic history, contexts, and definitions.

We will also discuss on-going bioethical issues such as informed consent, integration, and psychedelic exceptionalism. Lastly, what’s next for the field of psychedelics?
