On 3 February 2021, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) handed down their interim decision to not down-schedule psilocybin and MDMA to Schedule 8 (Controlled Drug) when used clinically with psychotherapy. Currently, both drugs are found on Schedule 9 (Prohibited Substance) which heavily restricts their supply and use in Australia. In their decision, the Secretary’s Delegate determined that both drugs had a high potential for misuse and not enough research to back their efficacy and safety. I will argue that this assessment is misguided.
