Recruiting for Johns Hopkins Study: Effects of Salvinorin A on the Brain

Hi!

Researchers at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine are seeking individuals with some experience using psychedelic drugs (e.g., LSD, mescaline, psilocybin, ayahuasca, salvinorin A) to participate in a research study looking at the effects of salvinorin A on brain activity.

Volunteers must be 21 to 50 years old, have no personal or familial history of severe psychiatric illness.

Participation involves approximately one screening session (about 5 hours), a 2-hour preparation meeting, and two study sessions (about 2 hours each) involving inhalation of a moderately strong dose of salvinorin A at the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. One of these sessions includes brain imaging in a MRI scanner.

Possible compensation up to $225 for participating.

Confidentiality will be maintained for all applicants and participants.
