The purpose of this survey is to conduct a comprehensive and ethical examination of real-world data (RWD) gathered from individuals across diverse demographics, including those who have and have not had experiences with psychedelics. ​ The primary objective is to capture their perspectives on various topics related to psychedelics. We seek to present the survey data and findings to legislators and decision-makers.
