New here? The Debrief is the weekly research read from Psychedelic Vets — the same veteran research we’ve been sharing at Microdosing Vets, now in one place.

Featured study

Microdosing Vets

A veteran-led study documenting how veterans actually use microdosing — a qualitative look at real experience, not a clinical trial. If you’re a U.S. veteran, a short screening will tell you whether you’re a fit.

3Field Notes — from the archive

No new Field Notes this week — ones worth revisiting.

A researcher proposes that ibogaine could work on a shared 'reward system' problem behind addiction, PTSD, OCD, and eating disorders — and says the idea still needs to be tested.
Hypothesis & Theory
Read the field note →
A year after MDMA-assisted therapy, a qualitative study documented the benefits veterans and first responders perceived — beyond their PTSD symptom scores.
Qualitative · IPA interviews · n = 19
Read the field note →
After a single psilocybin dose, veterans' anxiety, quality of life, and functioning improved — but the gains largely tracked their depression improvement rather than standing on their own.
