More people than ever are curious about psychedelics, the substances – plants, fungi and compounds – that create expanded states of consciousness. New research shows these substances could be promising medicines, particularly in conjunction with therapy. A central element of Indigenous spiritual practices since ancient times, psychoactive substances are now being embraced by other cultures to support personal growth, creativity and a deeper connection to the divine.
