Canada is poised to become the next country to legalize psychedelic medicine.
Last year, Health Canada began expanding access to psilocybin-containing mushrooms. First, to more than a dozen mentally or terminally ill patients. And then, to another 16 healthcare professionals who had petitioned the country’s drug regulator for the same access. They wanted to better understand the therapy.
Health Minister Patty Hajdu, in a virtual townhall with Vancouver MP Hedy Frey, said the department’s decision to approve the applications is controversial. But, she said, it’s not controversial for everyone, especially Canada’s doctors. “The doctors that prescribe this therapy wanted to understand what it would feel like and how to best use it to help their patients.”
