Before You Begin
Pre-Journey Checklist
A simple run-through before you begin — set, setting, dose, sitter, and the things worth squaring away first.
During an Experience
Fireside Project
62-FIRESIDE (623-347-7433)
Free, confidential peer support by phone and text for people during and after psychedelic experiences. Trained volunteers provide non-judgmental support, grounding, and integration conversation. Not a substitute for emergency medical care, but an extraordinary resource for difficult experiences and the lonely hours after.
Zendo Project
Provides harm reduction education and psychedelic peer support at festivals and events. Their free sitter training materials and principles of psychedelic harm reduction are excellent resources for anyone who might hold space for others. Founded by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).
Testing & Safety
DanceSafe
A public health organization promoting health and safety within nightlife and electronic music communities. Provides fentanyl test strips, reagent test kits, and educational resources on adulterants and safer use. One of the most reliable sources for substance testing supplies in the US.
TripSit
Comprehensive drug information, combination charts, and a peer support chat network. TripSit’s combination chart is one of the most accessible tools for quickly assessing interaction risks between substances. Their factsheets are reliable, non-judgmental, and regularly updated.
Research & Learning
Erowid
An enormous, long-running repository of information about psychoactive plants, chemicals, and related issues. Erowid’s experience reports, pharmacology summaries, and cultural archives are unmatched in depth. While the site design shows its age, the content remains one of the most comprehensive harm reduction resources on the internet.
MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies)
The organization that spearheaded modern MDMA-assisted therapy research through Phase 3 clinical trials. MAPS (now operating a pharmaceutical subsidiary, Lykos Therapeutics) also maintains an integration therapist directory, educational resources, and advocacy materials. A central hub for psychedelic science and policy.
Finding Professional Support
Psychedelic.Support
A global directory of psychedelic-informed therapists, integration specialists, and healthcare providers. Includes profiles, credentials, and specializations. An excellent starting point for finding professional support before or after a psychedelic experience.
In Crisis
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
988
Free, confidential support for people in distress, 24/7. Call or text 988 from anywhere in the United States. Not psychedelic-specific, but essential for anyone experiencing suicidal thoughts or acute mental health crisis. Available in Spanish and with translation services for additional languages.
