Module 1
Meet the Medicines
Module Description
We’re going to be kicking off this course by introducing you to the catalysts that make psychedelic-assisted therapy so unique: the psychedelic medicines. While Numinus primarily works with ketamine, MDMA, LSD, and psilocybin, we’ll learn about some other medicines that fall into this category. We’ll also learn about the different classes of substances that are referred to collectively as psychedelics, including the class psychedelics.
