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.

3New Field Notes

Studies we read in full and checked against the source.

Naturalistic, self-report · n = 339 (33 veterans)
