In addition to leading retreats, Victoria is also the co-founder and president of F.I.V.E (5-MeO-DMT Information and Vital Education), a harm reduction platform focused on education, training, research and more.

At the Psychedelic Medicine Association, we’re always looking for ways to provide you even more value—both in education on psychedelics and in networking with your fellow members. And we figured a great way to do both at the same time was to start the Psychedelic Medicine Journal Club!
As many of you may have experienced during school or residency, a journal club is a gathering where all attendees read the same journal article and discuss it in-depth to provide an even greater understanding of the material—all while getting to know each other even better).
This month’s journal club will be led by Psychedelic Medicine Association team member Jared Morningstar, and the article we will be discussing is “Expectancy in placebo-controlled trials of psychedelics: if so, so what?” We’ll use this article as a jumping-off point for discussing the complexities of placebo-controlled studies in the context of psychedelic research more broadly.
This will be an interactive format where everyone is encouraged to turn on their camera and share your thoughts on the article—as well as meet your fellow PMA members!
So please join us for this live journal club discussion on Thursday, June 27th at 5 pm Pacific, 8 pm Eastern. This is exclusively for members of the Psychedelic Medicine Association, so if you have not yet registered, please do so here. And for members, please register for the panel here. A link to the recording will be available afterward if you cannot make it to the live event.
Hope to see you all on the 27th!
