Editorial Process
We’re at a pivotal moment in psychedelic history. Millions of people, who have read about the rigorous, double-blind clinical trials investigating psilocybin and other compounds for mental health, are interested in learning more. And yet, there remain few trusted, accessible resources for people to learn about psychedelics. That’s why we started DoubleBlind.
DoubleBlind has a joint column on Rolling Stone, where we report on the latest developments in the worlds of psychedelic drug development and policy. We’ve been invited to speak at dozens conferences on the psychedelic movement, including PsyTech, The Mt. Tam Psilocybin Summit, Horizons Convention, and SXSW. We’ve also been featured in and interviewed by numerous publications as experts, including Forbes, Bustle, Business Insider, and VICE.
