I am designing an experiment where I will be knocking out 5-HT2A receptors in a cell type-specific manner before psilocybin administration to determine the necessity of 5-HT2A receptors in psilocybin's neuroplastic effects.
A client's depression has not been alleviated although she has been completely compliant with treatment. She has no family history of other mental illnesses. She has tried pharmaceuticals (Prozac, Wellbutrin), diet changes, exercise, meditation, and lifestyle changes for the last 30+ years and now wants to be off of antidepressants. Since psilocybin is still not approved clinically for depression, she wants to be able to legally participate in a study she believes could help many people including herself.
Hi all,
For the Brazilians (or researchers who live in Brazil) out there: where can I buy purified psilocybin in Brazil? I need to conduct a study with different doses of psilocybin, but I can't find the purified substance. I was only able to find dry shrooms for purchase, but since I don't really know the psilocybin concentration of each one of the pills, I was hoping someone could help me finding the actual psilocybin... Also, if anyone has protocols to conduct research using this substance on C57BL/6 mice, I would really appreciate! Thanks a lot.
I am curious about whether or not there are potential benefits to psilocybin when relating to substance abuse and addiction treatment? Due to certain factors there has been a limited amount of research but I would love to learn more about this topic.

Hi, our research team wants to do a pilot-study on psilocybin. Does anyone have any idea on how we can buy this substance? Can anyone help us on international laws on doing these kind of research in Iran?
Previous published researches on psylocibin haven't mentioned how they provided this substance. unfortunately we don't have necessary facilities to synthesis pcylocibin on our own.
thank you in advance.
