transparency, and scientific integrity —

We are a public benefit corporation that seeks to improve individual and community health, primarily by developing new medicines and secondarily by encouraging healthy, humane, and sustainable ecosystems that can support effective psychedelic medicine. We believe medicalizing psychedelics is not enough. We must also psychedelicize medicine. For psychedelics to truly realize their transformative potential as medicines, we must integrate the practice of psychedelic medicine with more sustainable and equitable practices of health and community. To this end, we support pollination approaches for strengthening the connection of people to each other and to community systems that foster individual and collective flourishing. We have signed the northstar guide ethics pledge.
