IPN Blog
We Are Accepting Submissions!
Our blog features thought-provoking written psychedelic pieces from our members. This platform is intended to elevate thoughtful, well-researched writing related to psychedelic academia, policy, and news, and we are actively inviting submissions from across the network. If you are interested in submitting a blog post, please apply to be an IPN member (if you are not already), and send your submissions through this submission form.
Example Material:
Scientific summaries of newly published research
Opinion pieces
Essays exploring developments in psychedelic science or policy
Guides on integration or harm reduction practices
Cultural or historical exploration of psychedelic indigenous practices
Commentary on the political landscape surrounding reform
Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis and will undergo a round of peer review by the editors before publication. At this time, creative artistic writing such as poetry is not the intended focus of this blog, but a platform for this is coming soon! As this is simply a showcase for student voices and interdisciplinary perspectives, the opinions of the authors do not represent those of IPN as an organization.
The blog coordinators reserve the right to reject a submission outright after the first round of review. This is uncommon but can happen if claims are not well-founded and/or if the submission requires too much editorial work. This is done at the discretion of the review committee.
Interview of PsychedelX Co-Founder, Haley Dourron
Haley Dourron is a Ph.D. candidate in the Drug Use and Behavior Lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Her research focuses on the neurophenomenological effects of psychedelics and their potential for inducing lasting behavioral changes. Haley pioneered the creation of IPN’s PsychedelX program in 2020 and 2021 along with the rest of IPN’s Research and Professional Development team (now called IPN Labs). Currently, she is working on a pioneering psilocybin-assisted therapy trial for cocaine dependence. Haley's work also delves into the parallels between psychedelic-induced states and psychosis, contributing to innovative approaches in mental health treatment.
