Demographic

A brief intake before the assessment begins. Biological sex is required; psychonautic profile is optional.
Biological sex? required
We ask about biological sex (not gender identity) because sex-based biological differences — including hormones, body composition, and metabolism — can influence how non-ordinary state experiences unfold and how they are processed and integrated.
Female
Male
