Psilocybin trials for healthy volunteers

How joining a trial works

Free to take part

Trials generally cost participants nothing for the study drug and the study visits, and some pay for travel or time. Check what a study covers on its registry page.

Screened first

Every study screens volunteers with questionnaires, medical history and often a physical and psychiatric check. Many people who apply are not enrolled.

Eligibility is strict

Common exclusions include a personal or family history of psychosis or bipolar disorder, some heart conditions, pregnancy and certain medications, which you may be asked to stop under medical supervision. Never stop a medication on your own to qualify.

You may get a placebo

Many trials compare psilocybin with a placebo or a low dose, and you may not be told which you had until the study ends.

Contact the study team through the registry
