Should we Legalize Medical Psilocybin?
Strong medical evidence supporting access to Psychedelic Assisted Therapy can effectively treat existential suffering in dying, depression, anxiety, addiction, PTSD, and other mental health conditions, improving quality of life.
Psilocybin required for psilocybin assisted therapy is currently only available in clinical trials and by special individual permission from Health Canada (S.56 exemptions) despite it’s low potential for harm; and
It is paradoxical and unethical to allow physicians to provide MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying) for patients while preventing the same physicians from treating their end of life distress and anxiety with psilocybin.
If Canadians have the Right to Die (MAiD)
they should have the Right to TRY
Allow Canadians to have timely, unrestricted access to therapeutic psilocybin in any form as needed to alleviate their suffering via S.56 exemptions. Write your Member of Parliament and ask them to advocate for medical psilocybin and psilocybin therapy to be legalized. Your voice makes a difference. Your voice matters.
