Legalizing Psychedelics: California & the United States

March 24, 2023 Published by

California is one step closer to legalizing psychedelics. A State Senate committee approved a bill that legalizes possessing certain psychedelic substances. The bill looks to legalize the “possession, preparation, obtaining, transfer, as specified, or transportation” of small amounts of psilocybin, psilocin, DMT, ibogaine and mescaline for personal use. LSD and MDMA will remain illegal due to an appeal to nature. While earlier versions of the bill included them, some felt LSD and MDMA are synthetic and thus not genuine plant-based […]

Australia to Legalize Medical Psychedelics

February 21, 2023 Published by

With a medical cannabis program that stinks of reefer madness and the decision to create COVID internment camps, Australia is the last country you’d expect to legalize medical psychedelics. But a recent decision by the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) will soon make it legal for psychiatrists to prescribe psilocybin and MDMA come July 2023. This would be like if Health Canada came to their senses and made Canada’s psychedelic medicine exemption as accessible as the government-assisted suicide program. (Telling […]

Davos 2023: Psychedelics & Cannabis 

January 21, 2023 Published by

The World Economic Forum (WEF) met in Davos for its 2023 event. This annual conference of elite billionaires, political leaders, and business moguls has become a rite of passage in the world order. The WEF represents a supranational organization. Undemocratic and with no limits on its power. So? Says the skeptic. It’s an international business conference. What’s the big deal? But it’s more than that. Klaus Schwab, the Swiss-German university professor who started the Davos meets, has been open about […]

Health Canada & Magic Mushroom Therapy

December 16, 2022 Published by

Health Canada continues to drag its feet on magic mushroom therapy. They’ve granted a few Canadians this right, but others have been waiting over 400 days for a reply. In a statement, Health Canada said it is “committed to ensuring that all people who need end-of-life care receive the best-possible, high-quality and compassionate supports available.” “Currently, the best way for patients to access psilocybin is through participation in a clinical trial,” the statement said. They mean Health Canada’s Special Access […]

Upcoming psychedelic assisted therapy guide in Alberta

October 8, 2022 Published by

Alberta might not be everyone’s first guess for a province progressing on psychedelic policy. In contrast, British Columbia alone will decriminalize hard drugs, including MDMA, without leniency on LSD, DMT, or psilocybin. Alberta, on a lighter note, released a guide they will enforce by January 16 next year that outlines standards for psychedelic-assisted therapy Alberta‘s upcoming guideline includes psilocin, MDMA, LSD, mescaline (peyote), DMT, 5-methoxy-DMT and ketamine.
