¿Imagina poder comprar una droga por internet y que llegue a su casa por correo? Pues la opción existe. Y no es una sola, sino cientos. @ub.edu 
Nuevas drogas: baratas, “legales” y a un clic de distancia
En estos momentos se venden por internet drogas sintéticas diseñadas para imitar los efectos de otras drogas más conocidas, como el cannabis, la cocaína o el éxtasis (MDMA), pero modificando ligeramente su estructura química para esquivar las leyes existentes.

La I Jornada d’Investigació Psicodèlica va ser tot un èxit! 👏 Hi va poder haver un diàleg molt interessant entre preclínics i clínics, on es va posar de manifest el gran potencial terapèutic que tenen aquests compostos.
Moltes gràcies a tots!! #PsychedeliCare

In this study, we characterize how halogenated DMT analogs, especially 5-Br-DMT, can trigger neuroplasticity and antidepressant-like effects while minimizing hallucinations.

We’re thrilled to share our paper, recently published in Molecular Psychiatry: “Neuropharmacology of halogenated DMT analogs: psychoplastogenic and antidepressant properties of 5-Br-DMT, a psychedelic derivative with low hallucinogenic potential”

Hello Bluesky! 👋
We are a research group from @ub.edu focused on the neuropsychopharmacology of emerging psychostimulants and psychedelics.
Our work bridges neuroscience and toxicology to better understand how these compounds affect the brain🧠.
