In 2015, The OPEN Foundation compiled a special issue for the journal CDAR (Current Drug Abuse Reviews), titled: ‘Beneficial Effects of Psychedelics with a Special Focus on Addictions’.
This special issue of takes an interdisciplinary approach to the topic of psychedelics and mental health, while maintaining a particular focus on applications of psychedelics in the fields of substance abuse and addiction. This special issue also takes a critical look at some widespread assumptions about psychedelics, introduces new ideas and suggests novel directions for future research.
We extend our gratitude to all the writers and peer reviewers that have helped us in putting this special issue together.
The articles are open access and can be found here.
