The Scottish Psychedelic Research Group was established in 2021 at the
University of Edinburgh, within the School of Health in Social Science.
We create a network for people from a range of professional and
academic backgrounds. Our main aim is to encourage community
development and engagement around psychedelic, integration and
community development. Some of our aims as a group are to conduct a
group clinical trial into psychedelic-assisted therapy, to research the
historical and contemporary use of psychedelic plants in Scotland, and to
understand our native species – the Liberty Cap and Amanita Muscaria –
in more depth.
The group runs a range of events around broader themes in Psychedelic
Research which seek to bring a diverse community together.
