Psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic compound, has been praised for its potential therapeutic benefits. However, much remains unknown.

Clinika Research, in collaboration with Canna Research Foundation and Psychedelist, is launching The PURPOSE Study, designed to fill these knowledge gaps by surveying 250-500 psilocybin users, anonymously.

What We Aim to Discover:

  • Who benefits most from psilocybin and why

  • Optimal dosing strategies for various therapeutic outcomes

  • How psilocybin impacts reliance on traditional medications

This study is crucial for:

  • Advancing psilocybin research and ensuring safe, effective treatments for mental health and wellness 

  • Destigmatizing psilocybin as medical therapy

  • Creating educational materials for consumers, therapists, industry stakeholders, and the medical field

Veteran’s Only Module:

The Veterans-Only module is designed to address the unique experiences, challenges, and needs of veterans, particularly those who may use psychedelics for mental health and personal growth. This module focuses on themes such as trauma processing, reintegration into civilian life, emotional regulation, and purpose. By tailoring questions to the veteran population, this section aims to provide a deeper understanding of how psychedelics influence veterans’ mental health outcomes and long-term well-being.

The PURPOSE Study, or Psilocybin Use: Recreational and Medical Patterns, Outcomes, and Effects, is a groundbreaking research project that seeks to understand how psilocybin is used, its therapeutic benefits, and how it impacts reliance on traditional medications. By surveying 250-500 anonymous psilocybin users, this study aims to bridge the gap in knowledge about this promising compound.

Psilocybin has shown promise in treating conditions like depression, anxiety, and PTSD. However, detailed information about its real-world use, safety, and effectiveness remains limited. The PURPOSE Study will provide critical insights that can guide safe and effective applications in both medical and recreational contexts.

Your contribution will directly support:

    • Participant recruitment and data collection.

    • Statistical analysis and publication of results.

    • Dissemination of findings to medical professionals and the public.

    • Donations are tax-deductible, and every dollar helps us move closer to unlocking psilocybin’s potential.
