Rationale: To examine the acute effects of ayahuasca use and their relationship to sub-acute changes in affect and mindfulness in a non-clinical sample, addressing the need for a better understanding of ayahuasca's immediate and short-term impacts as interest in its use grows.
Objectives: Using prospective ecological assessment, this study investigates how ayahuasca used at a 4-day retreat affects positive/negative affect and mindfulness skills in daily living compared to pre-retreat. Additionally, we explore acute psychedelic experiences during the ayahuasca retreat, assessed retrospectively 1-2 days post-retreat, as potential mechanisms for theorized effects in daily living post-retreat.

Background/aims: While most psychedelic substances are considered to carry a relatively low risk of acute or long-term harm, co-use with other psychoactive substances may increase health and social harm. Using a large international survey of adults who use psychedelics, we sought to comprehensively characterize psychedelic co-use.
Methods: We used data from the 2023 Global Psychedelic Survey, a web-based survey of adults ⩾21 with lifetime use of psychedelics.

Article Synopsis
- - Despite growing interest in psychedelics, research on inhaled DMT is limited; a study with nearly 400 participants highlighted motivations for use, sources, and risk perceptions surrounding inhaled DMT.
- - Most users reported beginning their DMT journey out of curiosity or interest in psychedelics, often acquiring DMT through friends and using it alone or in small groups, with glass pipes being the preferred method of inhalation.
- - While many users described positive psychological experiences from inhaling DMT, they also faced challenges like difficult integration and "bad trips," emphasizing the need for more research and education on its safe use and potential benefits.
