Psychedelic Readiness Index
Frequently Asked Questions
Last reviewed 11 November 2026
What is the Psychedelic Readiness Index?
A free assessment by Tony Greenberg: 50+ readiness questions across 6 domains, and profiles of 39 substances. The index compares your answers with profiles in a curated database. These profiles can bring a question into focus. A score cannot establish safety, predict benefit or harm, diagnose a condition, or tell you which substance or dose to take.
Is this medical advice?
No. The Psychedelic Readiness Index is built from decades of research, clinical literature, harm reduction work, and conversations with people who have actually been in the room. It is not medical advice, not a prescription, and not a substitute for a real conversation with a real healthcare professional who knows your history.
Who should I talk to about my results?
Talk to your psychedelic council. Talk to your psychedelic council, the people you trust for support and perspective. Bring medical questions, your health history and your full medication list to a licensed clinician familiar with psychedelics. Discuss any medication change with your prescriber first.
Why is my score paused?
Some questions are safety screens, such as heart history, seizures, certain medications and mental-health history. If you answer one of them below "Often true", the Index does not show a score or medicine matches. Instead it lists those answers so you can take them to a clinician. Stop and talk to a doctor or licensed clinician before anything else.
Do I have to answer every question?
Yes. Each question needs an answer before you can move on, and a personal result is only shown once every question is answered.
Are my answers stored?
Your answers to the readiness questions and the “How You Want to Go” questions are scored in your own browser. They are not sent to us, saved on a server or shared with anyone. They are gone when you close or reload the page. The Privacy page has the details.
Can I save my results?
Yes. "Save My Results" opens your browser's print window, where you can print the report or save it as a PDF. Medicines you save with the heart button stay in your browser on that device.
I found an error in a medicine's information. How do I report it?
Open that medicine and use "Suggest Correction". It goes straight to Tony with the exact section.
