  • Perceptions of death and memory transmission among residents of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan

    Open AccessMonte-Angel Richardson, Carly Parmer et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of using SMS boosters to augment a hospital based…

    Joseph El‐khoury, Joseph El-Khoury et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2015

Hallucinogens can induce desired psychedelic effects and undesirable psychomimetic reactions. These are usually transient and resolve once the duration of action is over. Sometimes, these effect…
