Science in Action has confirmed that it has received ethics approval for an in vivo non-GLP toxicology study of N, N Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) (the "Study"). Both Entheon and Science in Action have applied for requisite permits in order to export, receive and research DMT drug product.
A 2018 study provides further clarity on the relationship between psychedelics and schizophrenia. Both break down the barriers between self and other.

Psychedelic medicine biotech firm MindMed has announced it has begun a study for a “neutralizer” technology that could shorten and stop the effects of an LSD trip during therapy, paving the way for an “emergency shut-off switch” for psychedelic-assisted therapy.
N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, is a hallucinogenic tryptamine drug producing effects similar to those of other psychedelics like LSD, ketamine, psilocybin and psilocin. DMT occurs naturally in many plant species and animals and has been used in religious ceremonies as a traditional spiritual medicine by indigenous people in the Amazonian basin. DMT can also be synthesised in a laboratory.
MindMed has several therapies based on lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) in the phase 2 for treatment of anxiety and cluster headaches, which would be used as an aid during therapy sessions.
Results published today in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, show that MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) was well tolerated by all participants. No unexpected adverse events were observed, and psychosocial functioning improved across the cohort.
