Types of psychoactive compounds

Society often misunderstands what drugs are. We all have a family member or a friend who says they are against drugs, but they consume alcohol, coffee, or smoke. 

Likewise, the community blurred the narrow line between what is psychedelic or simply psychoactive. We have constant arguments on whether MDMA, Cannabis, or Ketamine might be psychedelic or not. 
To some, the compounds become psychedelics based on the dosages. To others, the compounds fall into more scientific terminologies.

Join us to learn about the various classes of psychoactive compounds and how they affect our daily lives.

What Is Shadow Work? Psychology, Spirituality & Self-Exploration Explained

In the intricate landscape of human psychology, the concept of the shadow self, as elucidated by Carl Jung, represents the latent and often repressed aspects of our personality. Emerging research suggests that psychedelics, particularly empathogens-entactogens such as MDMA and 2C-B, may serve as catalysts for unveiling these hidden dimensions.

Through controlled clinical settings and guided therapy, individuals undergoing psychedelic experiences have reported profound insights into their shadow selves, leading to enhanced self-awareness and psychological integration.

Join us in examining personal anecdotes, confronting the intersection of untreated shadow manifestations and the transformative potential of psychedelic-assisted therapy.

How Psilocybin Affects the Brain: Neuroscience Explained

Since the introduction of the Psilocybe genus to the western community, various genetic engineering experiences were made birthing various strains, among them the WillSolvem Peyote Strain.

Recent revolutionary research conducted by the Usona Institute unveiled for the first time the true crystal structure of psilocybin opening doors for new psilocybin analogs, such as CYB003, believed to hold the potential to treat major depressive disorder (MDD) and alcohol disorder. This analog is designed to have less variability in the plasma levels, a faster onset of action, shorter duration, and potentially be more tolerable versus oral psilocybin.

Along with the mycological and chemical discoveries, how the substance acts in the brain and its potential use for the treatment of clinical depression is also being explored together with the hypothesis of psilocybe altering the gut microbiome, thus creating a potential avenue for new pharmaceutical tools targeting the gut-brain axis.
