So this is an advertisement. It's "inbound marketing" precisely. They require your email to let you see it.

Noped out when it required giving my email to receive my test results.

It did include a couple of questions worth considering when prepping for an experience, but I could have gotten that from a simple bullet-point list.

A lot of the questions could be summarized as "I have prepared for the psychedelic experience". Like bro if I was sure of that answer I wouldn't be taking your quiz

If you're looking for an informational page for this sort of thing that doesn't farm your email, try TripSafe (psychedelics) and its cousin page RollSafe (molly).

I answered generically and used a burner: their interpretation is that "basic readiness present, but some domains may require attention." and helpfully recommend that I "strengthen weaker areas."

Conveniently, they also share an intake form and a way to schedule a confidential call to match with a facilitator who can help me. They clarify that 'while psilocybin therapy can be expensive, it’s often said that the experience is akin to “10 years of therapy in a single session.”'

Happy trails indeed.

Huh. Today I learned that mushrooms are still illegal in Canada. I am old and all the mushroom shops in Toronto are signed and advertising so openly, I thought the law had changed.
