MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) is a membership-based organization working to assist psychedelic researchers around the world design, obtain governmental approval, fund, conduct and report on psychedelic research in humans. Founded in 1986, MAPS is an IRS approved 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation funded by tax-deductible donations. MAPS is now focused primarily on assisting scientists to conduct human studies to generate essential information about the risks and psychotherapeutic benefits of MDMA, other psychedelics, and marijuana, with the goal of eventually gaining government approval for their medical uses. Interested parties wishing to copy any portion of this publication are encouraged to do so and are kindly requested to credit MAPS including name and address. The MAPS Bulletin is produced by a small group of dedicated staff and volunteers. Your participation, financial or otherwise, is welcome.

Apology/Correction

Our apologies to Robert Venosa, whose portrait of Dr. Albert Hofmann on the inside front cover of the Winter 2006-07 issue suffered from some significant printing problems. The proper image, brighter and uncropped, has now been posted on the MAPS site at maps.org/catalog and the inside back cover of this issue. MAPS’ proceeds from the sale of these signed, limited edition portraits will be restricted for MAPSsponsored LSD psychotherapy research.
