About the Provider
Drug Science is a UK-based independent, science-led drugs charity founded in 2010 and headquartered in London, with work aimed at the UK public and international audiences. It focuses on building an evidence base for drug harms and benefits, and on equipping the public, media, and policymakers with scientific information to support sensible drug laws and evidence-based debate. In psychedelics, Drug Science is an explicit field actor rather than a peripheral observer. Its Medical Psychedelics Working Group promotes evidence-based psychedelic research and access, including support for removing psychedelic drugs from Schedule 1 restrictions, improving regulatory pathways for medical use, and producing educational resources for healthcare professionals and the public. The organization also publishes commentary and research-led content on psychedelic policy, clinical development, and public attitudes, and has recent documented activity around psilocybin regulation, psychedelic terminology, and UK research ecosystem updates.
