Support the Shulgin Farm

As psychedelic-assisted therapy enters mainstream medicine, the nonprofit Shulgin Foundation works to ensure this field grows with the rigorous science and ethical care that defined Sasha and Ann Shulgin's pioneering work. Their year-end campaign supports securing the historic Shulgin Farm in Lafayette, CA as a permanent center for training practitioners, preserving essential research archives, and building networks that connect the field's foundational values with its future.

Consider making a year-end tax-deductible donation to help guide psychedelic medicine toward its potential as truly transformative, respectful healing.
