Effects of Hallucinogens and Other Drugs on Mood and Performance
Non-treatment, randomised, triple-blind pharmacology study (n=20) using oral capsules of placebo or varying doses of multiple psychoactive compounds to study effects on mood and performance in healthy volunteers.
Details
Twenty healthy volunteers (21–50 years) participate in multiple sessions including screening, preparation, five experimental drug sessions, immediate follow-ups, a 1-month follow-up and a post-completion urine collection; on each of five experimental sessions participants ingest capsules containing placebo or varying doses of one of multiple psychoactive compounds.
Subjective drug effects are measured using laboratory methods previously used by the group; tasks and questionnaires are completed acutely and at follow-up to characterise mood, cognition and drug-specific subjective effects.
