| MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) is
a membership-based organization working to assist psychedelic
researchers around the world design, obtain governmental
approval, fund, conduct and report on psychedelic research
in humans. Founded in 1986, MAPS is an IRS approved 501
(c)(3) non-profit corporation funded by tax-deductible donations.
MAPS is now focused primarily on assisting scientists to
conduct human studies to generate essential information
about the risks and psychotherapeutic benefits of MDMA, other
psychedelics, and marijuana, with the goal of eventually
gaining government approval for their medical uses. Interested
parties wishing to copy any portion of this publication are
encouraged to do so and are kindly requested to credit MAPS
including name and address. The MAPS Bulletin is produced by
a small group of dedicated staff and volunteers. Your participation,
financial or otherwise, is welcome. |

Apology/Correction
Our apologies to Robert Venosa,
whose portrait of Dr. Albert Hofmann
on the inside front cover of the Winter
2006-07 issue suffered from some
significant printing problems. The
proper image, brighter and uncropped,
has now been posted on the MAPS
site at maps.org/catalog and the inside
back cover of this issue. MAPS’
proceeds from the sale of these
signed, limited edition portraits
will be restricted for MAPSsponsored
LSD psychotherapy
research.
