THE JOURNAL
Browse by topic.
Every guide is dated and sourced, and says what is still unknown. Start with the topic you are curious about.
The journal is organised into topics so that related guides sit together. Each topic page starts with the article to read first, then lists the rest, so you can go from a broad question to a narrow one: from what magic mushrooms are, to what a single species name rests on, to what one clinical trial actually measured.
Every article follows the same rules, set out in our editorial standards. It names the source for each claim and gives the date it was checked. It separates what is established from what is only reported, and it ends with what is still unknown. None of it is medical or legal advice, and none of it tells anyone how to find, grow or take anything. For help in an emergency, see the safety guide.
Alongside the articles are four reference pages that are kept up to date: the magic mushroom and DMT glossary, which defines 82 terms from psilocin to Schedule III; the tracker of psilocybin clinical trials in Canada, refreshed daily from the public registry; the psilocybin law tracker, which compares how 19 jurisdictions regulate psilocybin and the mushrooms; and the species atlas, which maps where nine psilocybin species were first described. For DMT and ayahuasca there is the DMT Library, with its own DMT clinical trials tracker.
