Terms of Service.

Summary

Psilopedia’s mission is to connect individuals with vendors, therapists, and other psychedelic enthusiasts. Psilopedia is an online platform that allows users to discuss and review vendors and strains of Psilocybin mushrooms. It also serves to connect patients with psychedelic-friendly doctors and therapists online, and is a repository of psilocybin information, media, and studies.

This is a platform for psychedelic novices, professionals and everyone in between to be heard. For this to work, companies and practitioners shouldn’t have to deal with phantoms. This means providing contact information and engaging with communications from the company you are posting about.
Your personal contact information is not placed in the public domain. Your email address is provided to the companies on which you post reviews. You are anonymous in the public part of the site, but you may be required to provide personal information in your communication with companies so that you can get the responses you are seeking.
Psilopedia can edit, rewrite or remove any posting on the site at our discretion. We are a channel for the respectful expression of specific customer service issues and opinions resulting from what you personally experience. The Guidelines page provides further guidance.
Your posts and reviews about your specific experiences that you have had with organizations, are about a specific event on which you can provide details. Our site does not handle legal matters, employee/employer relations or personal disputes.
To do their jobs, designated personnel of Psilopedia can see all content in the site, including private messages between consumers and companies.
For those who represent a business, communications with consumers must be done from a claimed and verified business account so that we can be sure that it’s really that business speaking.
