Coastal forests in the mid-Atlantic and southern New England (from Virginia through Massachusetts) have a mix of hardwoods and evergreen trees. They provide habitat for an array of rare plants and wildlife, store carbon and are valuable timber resources. Coastal forests along with adjacent salt marshes also help buffer inland areas from coastal storms. But sea-level rise is altering coastal forest ecosystems and “ghost forests” filled with dead trees are becoming a growing phenomenon in parts of the Northeast.
Working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Northeast Climate Hub and in consultation with the U.S. Geological Survey New Jersey Water Science Center, Rutgers researchers assessed the latest information on how coastal forests in the Northeast are responding to climate change. The likely reasons for the death of coastal forests vary by location. But the most important factors appear to be: rising groundwater levels that saturate soils in low-lying areas, especially du

Chemically similar to DMT, 5-MeO-DMT is fast-acting with a short duration. Researchers believe its mind-altering effects could offer benefits similar to other psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin, especially when combined with psychotherapy.

A Canadian company specializing in psilocybin truffles is launching into the global market. Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE:TRIP) (OTC: TRUFF) has its sights set on expanding the use of psychedelic products for both recreational and therapeutic uses.
In December, the Ontario-based company announced the acquisition of Mera Life Sciences. Mera Life holds several psychedelic licenses in the Caribbean. The company plans to utilize Mera’s St. Vincent and the Grenadines lab to create a scientific research and development division. That entity will explore novel clinical applications for a variety of plant-based psychedelics.
