About the Consortium

Charting a course for the future of psychedelics by focusing on real-world evidence and community collaboration.

Our Guiding Principles

Who We Are

The Real World Psychedelics Consortium is a decentralized, collaborative network of academic institutions, community-based organizations, and allies. Guided by the principles of community-based research, harm reduction, cognitive liberty, public health and Open Science, we aim to inform policy and co-create safer, more just psychedelic ecosystems.

Our Values

Our work is grounded in a collaborative and inclusive tone. We position ourselves as a bridge between grassroots wisdom and institutional influence, with a core differentiator being our focus on real-world data and lived experience over purely clinical research. We are evidence-aware, not evidence-dogmatic.

Our Mission

We gather, share, and elevate real-world data on psychedelic use, amplifying the voices of people who use psychedelics (PUPs), patients, and practitioners across Indigenous, religious, clinical, and community-based settings. Our goal is to expand our collective understanding and reduce harm.

Our Vision

We envision a world where community-based, real-world psychedelic knowledge, experiences and expertise can inform equitable policies, improve safe access, reduce harms and expand our collective understanding of psychedelics for the benefit of all.
