MAPS: Aspiring psychedelic researcher looking for guidance



Hello, I will first start off by introducing myself.  My name is Tom and I am 20 years old.  I am currently a sophomore at the University of Rhode Island.  I am a psychology major with a minor in philosophy.  I am also involved with the honors program, as well as several on campus student organizations  I am a very serious student.  I am deeply interested in psychedelics and their potential for utilization in psychological treatment.  I have immersed myself in the literature regarding this topic for the past 3 or 4 years.  I recently joined MAPS, as I believe that it is a very important organization, and vital to the continuation of psychedelic research in this country.
 
With that said, I was hoping that you fine folks on this list could give me some guidance as to how to most effectively pursue my goal of one day becoming a researcher in the field of psychology and studying these interesting chemicals and their potential benefits.  I am planning on attending graduate school as soon as I finish my undergraduate work here at URI.  Do any of you know of any graduate study programs in the country with professors who are interested in the topic of psychedelic research?  I would also appreciate any advice at all that you may have that could help me along the way to achieving my goals.
 
Thank you so much,
Thomas Angell
