An exemption is one of few ways to get the drug legally — otherwise, patients need their doctor to request it for a specific use or they need to be enrolled in a clinical trial. But it is easily found online or at a growing number of shops openly selling magic mushrooms in cities including Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa.
Hartle and other advocates have filed a legal challenge that calls on the federal government to regulate psilocybin so patients seeking it out for medical use can do so legally.

As under-the-table market grows, patients urge Ottawa to regulate magic mushroomsThe psychoactive compound produced by the mushrooms – called psilocybin – is not legal in Canada but there are early clinical trials underway It's psilocin/psilocybin/magic mushrooms—not carfentanil. The government should fuck off and mind their own business (which they mostly are at this point, to be fair). A legal prodrug to psilocin like 4-AcO-DMT can be a better option as it permits more accurate dosing. Please don't. Nobody in government knows how to handle psychedelics, looks how they mangled the legal cannabis rollout..keep it grey zoned

As under-the-table market grows, patients urge Ottawa to regulate magic mushroomsThomas Hartle became one of the first Canadians to receive a federal exemption to treat symptoms of his stage-four colon cancer with magic mushrooms -- and he was celebrated for it. But not long after the landmark decision, Hartle says that legal avenues to access the drug have been 'shut off.' As the market grows? That market has been around since before I was born. It's foolish to claim otherwise. why not make our kids crazy with hallucinations? govcanhealth should certify some home growing kits, also. Growing these isn't complicated.
