Psychedelic retreats are popping up all over the world and employing all sorts of different psychoactive compounds, from ayahuasca to psilocybin. Current research is proving MDMA to be potentially even more effective than other psychedelics at treating depression. But today, there aren’t many MDMA ‘retreats’ around. Why is that, and what is the best way […]
An MDMA experience can be a very pleasurable one for a consumer. It often elicits strong feelings of emotional warmth and empathy towards others. These loving feelings are known to enhance the experience of being at social events. As a result, MDMA (or its adulterated cousin, ecstasy), has been a mainstream drug of choice for […]
Molly. Ecstasy. E. The love drug. All of these are nicknames for substances that include or are entirely composed of MDMA.

And this effect is leading to recognition […]

Ibogaine is a powerful and potentially life-changing psychoactive that is garnering attention for its powerful anti-addiction properties. However, the experience of taking ibogaine is unlike that of any other psychedelic. Curious what an ibogaine experience is […]
Not all psychedelics are created equal. Even experienced psychonauts that have enjoyed a wide range of experiences will readily admit that 5-MeO-DMT is an experience unlike any other. The use of 5-MeO-DMT is still quite novel; incredibly, not much is known about its history. As a result, there are fewer practitioners or retreat centers than […]
…which is better for what ails me? You’re intrigued by the concept of psychedelic wellness and healing. You’re deep into your research about different retreats and their offerings. And you’re familiar with ayahuasca from pop culture, friends, Burning Man, etc. But as soon as you heard that ‘licking toads’ was a real thing… As it […]
5-MeO-DMT is one of the most potent psychedelics available. One user described it as being akin to “tripping sideways into another dimension”.
