The psychoactive compound produced by the mushrooms, called psilocybin, is not legal in Canada. But early clinical trials are underway to test its effectiveness in treating mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression.

OTTAWA — Thomas Hartle became one of the first Canadians to receive a federal exemption to treat symptoms of his stage-four colon cancer with magic mushrooms just a few years ago — and he was celebrated for it.

In 2020, Hartle was was among a handful of patients — many of whom were suffering from terminal illness — granted the exemption to use psilocybin by former health minister Patty Hajdu. "I would like this therapy to be medicalized so that it's a treatment, that your doctor can just give you a referral to a professional who is qualified and experienced and who has access to a safe supply."

The group helped Hartle and others get their exemptions and is leading a legal challenge to fight the status of psilocybin in Federal Court. "You can almost think about it like the government granting patients access to chemotherapy but making medical school and the training around ... chemotherapy illegal," Hawkswell said. "All we would have is underground chemotherapy treatments. And that's what's happening today in Canada."

Don't regulate. Just keep your grubby greedy paws off nature's medicine. Do not tell me how much I am ALLOWED to consume. That is a very dangerous slope.

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.
