Got this ad (mod edit: not from Bluelight). It's a pressing topic in the psychedelic movement, but the content is paywalled…
Join a live webinar workshop focused on the Cardiovascular Risks and Effects of Psychedelics
As the therapeutic and spiritual use of psychedelics gains popularity, it is critical to understand the cardiovascular risks associated with their use, particularly among individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or risk factors. This webinar will provide a detailed examination of the cardiovascular effects of a range of psychedelics, including tryptamine and ergoline compounds like psilocybin, LSD, and DMT, as well as the dissociative ketamine and phenethylamines such as MDMA.
Join me on Saturday, May 17th, 9 am - 11:30 am Mountain Time US for a deep dive into these topics. You can use the [link] below to register, see more background details, and review important webinar logistics below:
Who Should Attend
Webinar Background and Description
Participants will gain an evidence-informed framework for cardiovascular screening, learn to assess intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors, and explore pharmacologic mechanisms underlying hemodynamic changes during psychedelic experiences. The session will also address limitations in current clinical trial data, discuss risk profiles across different routes of administration, and highlight harm reduction practices tailored to cardiovascular health.
By integrating observational findings, clinical pharmacology, and practical strategies, this webinar aims to empower clinicians, facilitators, and healthcare practitioners to make informed decisions about candidate eligibility, session preparation, and emergency response planning. Special attention will be given to identifying populations at elevated risk, medication considerations, and best practices for managing acute cardiovascular events in psychedelic settings.

Really looking forward to speaking to this complex subject and topics. Space is limited, so make sure to sign up and reserve your spot today.
Hope to see you there.

Special attention will be given to identifying populations at elevated risk, medication considerations, and best practices for managing acute cardiovascular events in psychedelic settings.
Learning Objectives:
- Outline a systematic rationale for cardiovascular screening prior to psychedelic experiences
- Describe the hemodynamic effects of ketamine and serotonergic psychedelics and their clinical implications
- Recognize key cardiovascular risk factors, stratify risk severity, and assess medication profiles
- Understand emergency preparedness strategies and harm reduction approaches to mitigate cardiovascular complications
- Critically evaluate the gaps in current clinical trial data and their relevance to real-world practice
- Review case example intake forms and discuss their contents
Important Webinar Details
- The live workshop will take place on Sat May 17th from 9a-11:30am mountain time US
- Registration is 35$
- Includes the live webinar workshop, access to a copy of the video recording, as well as downloadable PDF slides
- The workshop will consist of a 60-75 min lecture, short break, 30-40 min break out group case discussion, and 30 min case review Q&A session
