Psynapse (formerly known as EmmaSofia) is a nonprofit organization based in Oslo, Norway, which aims to increase access to MDMA and psychedelics for medical and scientific purposes, as well as advocating for the legalization of psychedelics for human rights reasons.
[1] Psynapse was founded in 2015 by researchers Pål-Ørjan Johansen and his wife, Teri Krebs.
Teri Krebs is a former research fellow at the Department of Neuroscience at the Faculty of Medicine of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.
Pål-Ørjan Johansen is a clinical psychologist who has spoken out about having self-medicated with psilocybin and MDMA to treat his PTSD and alcoholism.
The latter study led them to conclude that there was no link between these psychedelics and mental health problems and that in fact, they found some significant associations between the use of psychedelic drugs and fewer mental health problems.
