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
