Soooo, it soon it is Valentines Day!
Are your planning to take a psychedelic trip with your romantic partner on Valentines day? If so, you can help science and psychedelic research with that!
A couple that trips together, stays together?
It looks like we are in need for re-connection, we are more and more looking into trauma informed relationships and try to figure out how we move around in our relationships. Psychedelcis could play a huge part in this. Also hopefully we can look into legal MDMA assisted couples therapy soon.
But back to you…
Let’s say you are planning to take MDMA, a psychedelic drug like ketamine, 2C-B, etc.or attend a psychedelic retreat with your romantic partner. Here is what you can do for the research.
The famous Imperial College London is now investigating the long-term effects of taking psychedelics, MDMA, ketamine, 2C-B, etc.. in romantic couples, from intimacy to attachment styles and sexual satisfaction. If you are interested in supporting the research with your personal experiences, please head over to the sign up and tell the researchers, what you have experienced ( This can be a tremdendous help, if it comes to the creation of new research and trials around realtionships and psychedelics.)

Who is this for ?
This study is for people in a romantic relationship, however you can also participate by yourself if your partner do not want to participate. One member of the couple must enroll in the study first before receiving a unique link to share the study with their partner. You will be asked to select the date of your experience and you will receive questionnaires at 5 different time points.
Interested in psychedelics and the effects that MDMA can have on you as a couple? Here is some more info!
The New York Times published a piece on this, (writing about the power of MDMA experiences for married couples.
Rachel Haver’s book(“I Feel Love: MDMA and the Quest for Connection in a Fractured World” explains how MDMA lets us feel connected again: a feeling we all desperately need.
Anne,
That's an amazing opportunity!
I believe many couples who are experimenting would love to contribute and get any feedback from the research groups.
P.S. the link to the NYT article is broken.
Just remove the ")" before the "?" parameter in the UTM :)
