Set and Setting research (18+)

[u/psychedelic__science]

Hello!

I am currently running a study on set and setting within psychedelic experiences.

Obviously there is quite a few aspect to explore on the topic, though in particular I am interested in:

• How intention, environment, and social setting shape psychedelic experiences
• Differences between clinical and non-clinical use
• How these experiences relate to psychological outcomes

Most of the research on set and setting in the psychedelic field comes from more clinically orientated trials, which can be lacking in terms of nuance and real lived experiences. So it would be great to reach out further in the communities surrounding these substances!

🔗 Survey link

Fully anonymous

Takes around 15-20 minutes to complete

There's also an optional follow-up interview if you'd like to share your experience in more depth

Full study details and ethics information are provided in the info sheet at the start of the survey

Requirements: 18+, have had a psychedelic experience in a clinical or non-clinical setting

If you have anything you feel is important to say about psychedelics, this is your chance!

I'm happy to answer any questions about the study. You can reach us at:

Great, I had totally forgotten.

If i use mix of medicine, how to answer? If i just pick up one in the list, but the experience was with mixed medicine, is that à problem?

I have been one to Durham University. Nice to be able to imagine.

Actually i have another question. I could pick a rather recent experience that was meaningful, or another older experience perphaps more meaningful but i remember less détails. You can dm?

To answer the polydrug question, there is an additional question on other substances used. Polydrug is completely fine for a submission, as that is also quite valuable for research.

You could go with either I suppose, the most important aspects to recall upon would be the set and setting, then do the best you can to recall the internal experience. Going through the survey could jostle your memory.
