Spirit Pharma
Data updated
Benjamin Malcolm's psychedelic pharmacology education and consulting platform offering continuing education courses for healthcare professionals on safe psychedelic therapy practices. Spirit Pharmacist bridges evidence-based pharmacology with clinical psychedelic practice through online courses, consulting services, and harm reduction resources.
Blossom’s read
Spirit Pharmacist is essentially Benjamin Malcolm's niche pharmacology-and-risk education platform for psychedelic medicines, built by a clinician-pharmacist rather than a therapy school. It seems strongest for people who want sober, evidence-led guidance on drug interactions, tapering, screening and safer practice, especially clinicians and organisers working around psychedelic care. It sits a little apart from the more psychotherapeutic or facilitator-led offerings in the field, with a clear pharmacy lineage and a practical harm-reduction emphasis.
Who Spirit Pharma is for
Best suited to healthcare professionals, especially pharmacists and clinicians, plus therapists, retreat teams and informed members of the public who want evidence-based psychedelic pharmacology. It also appears relevant to people considering psychedelic use alongside psychiatric medication.
Prerequisites
Most courses state there are no formal prerequisites, though prior courses in the Master Series are recommended for some advanced content. The membership terms say student membership is only for students in a healthcare programme, and the consultation services are not a medical or therapeutic service or medical clearance to use substances.
Accreditation & recognition
The site states that the about page is pharmacy continuing-education accredited. I did not find a clear, course-by-course public statement of CME/CE credit amounts or an external accreditor on the pages reviewed, so that remains unclear.
Cost
Public pricing on the site includes Foundation to Psychedelic Pharmacology at USD 198, Clinical Pharmacology of Psychedelics at USD 397, and the three-course Master Series bundle at USD 595. Membership is advertised at USD 29 per month for healthcare students plus a USD 20 registration fee, or USD 99 per month for standard membership, with annual pricing also shown on the home page at USD 999 per year; membership includes access to courses, webinars and drug interaction guides, with higher tiers adding email Q&A and discounted consulting.
What you walk away with
Learners can expect a stronger grounding in psychedelic pharmacology, drug interactions, screening, antidepressant tapering and practical safety considerations. Depending on the offer, they may also gain ongoing access to webinars, guides, Q&A support and discounted consulting, rather than a formal licence or standalone qualification.
