Frequently Asked Questions
Who else will be there?
Around 12 participants — all licensed mental health or allied health professionals — plus 3 facilitators.
Is there anything I should do to prepare?
No special preparations required. Entering the day with a clear and calm mindset is a plus. Allow time for integration that evening or the next day.
Do I need to bring food?
No. Food, snacks, and drinks are provided throughout the day. Let us know in advance if you have dietary requirements.
What should I eat beforehand?
A light meal before 8:30 AM is ideal. Avoid heavy, rich, or fried foods the evening before or morning of — these can contribute to nausea.
Do I have to take a dose — or a full dose?
No. Dosing is entirely self-directed. Starting low and going slowly is encouraged. Not dosing at all is always an option.
What are the unusual or adverse effects?
What is the policy on physical touch?
Touch is not part of this experience. If supportive contact is ever offered, it is only with explicit verbal consent.
I am sensitive to sound. What is the music like?
Gentle music is used during parts of the day. Noise-cancelling headphones are worth bringing. We also have conventional earplugs available.
Can I drive afterwards?
Most people feel fairly normal after Low-5, but you are still in an altered state of consciousness — driving is not advised.
What happens after the lab?
Every participant has a scheduled 1:1 follow-up call within a few days. Facilitators are also available if anything comes up sooner.
