The Foundational Course of Bufo University

Psychedelics 101 is the cornerstone educational program of Bufo University. Designed for curious learners, practitioners, and individuals seeking deeper self-understanding, this course explores psychedelic studies through the lens of ethics, science, history, and consciousness.

Rather than offering shortcuts or promises, this course provides education, critical thinking, and practical frameworks for informed exploration.
