The OPEN Foundation has published hundreds of blog posts since its inception in 2007, including interviews with many leading psychedelic experts. On this page, you can access our publications that address various interdisciplinary topics, substances, and therapies.

He has published extensively on the topic of addiction and the therapeutic potential of psychedelics.

The psychedelic substance has become the topic of new scientific research that will also feature at ICPR. “It has the apparent ability to induce states of ego dissolution in a reliable fashion”, says one researcher studying its potential for psychedelic therapy.
