What Psilodex is, and isn't.

  1. 01Psilodex summarizes published evidence and public state rules. It does not decide whether you can safely use psilocybin or take part in services, and it is not medical advice.
  2. 02Starting, stopping, or changing a medication is the prescriber's decision. Bring the report to them.
  3. 03Your searches and list stay in this browser and are not sent to us. Opening a medication's page is an ordinary web request, so our hosting providers see which page was opened. What we can and can't see.
