biology - Psychedelics As a Second Language

Meet the Fireside project App: Your virtual Peer Support Line

Psychedelic experiences are a trip into the unknown and sometimes get out of hand or become too much to decompress or at least on your own.

Fireside Project considered this and created the first app to help us during and after our trips, with over 100 volunteers to provide you with non-clinical emotional support, giving you a compassionate experience filled with knowledge about the psychedelic realms while always protecting your identity without collecting personal data.

The Fireside Project line is open every day from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. PT to everyone in the United States!

Most importantly, it’s free and one click away!

For this reason, we decided to present you with our field guide to let you know what you should do if you are trying to integrate into the psychedelic space.

Athletes and workout enthusiasts have recently entered the world of Cannabis to benefit from the muscle relaxation and pain relief effects of the plant. Unfortunately, to those who compete at a professional level, smoking is often not possible. So we might question ourselves, how can I consume Cannabis without smoking it?

To figure out various forms of consumption of the plant and how Cannabis can help athletes or during exercise, tips on how to implement working out into your routine, and what CBD is, we spoke to the molecular biologist and weight-lifter Suat Neven.

Art usually focuses on physical objects, viewpoints, or even the imaginary, but how about what is invisible to the human eye and can only be seen at a molecular level?

We spoke to the crystallographer Dr.Mike McCormick (@xtal_xlear) to understand more about his artwork and how portraying molecules in the form of art may cultivate interest in the fields of chemistry to the masses.
