According to a report by Marijuana Moment, NIDA is now asking for proposals to begin research into how psychedelics can help with drug addiction. They also announced that they are ready to fund $1.5 million worth for these studies. Last week, NIDA posted three NOFOS (notices of funding opportunities) for research with a special interest in ayahuasca and psilocybin for treating individuals who are struggling with substance use disorders.
