"That psychedelics have been time tested for thousands of years, and being revered across cultures and continents, speaks to their deep history of beneficial influence. Modern science is now validating what our ancestors knew: psychedelics are essential for mental and spiritual well being."
- Paul Stamets
"Psychedelic plants, fungi and compounds are tools for learning; they place in our hands the keys to learn how to become better humans."
- Dennis McKenna

Canada Supports Campaign
The PAC to introduce new regulatory change to Health Canada
Canada overwhelmingly supports access to new regulations with polling numbers showcasing the need for change including, 78% of Canadians polled support or somewhat support a government that legalized psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy to improve the quality of life for terminally ill patients.
The Psychedelic Association of Canada and other experts from across Canada have been meeting with Members of Parliament, senior government officials, representatives from all parties, and national stakeholders over the past 10 months and encountered unanimous support for access to psilocybin therapy with a palliative diagnosis.
With public support at an all-time high, we are focusing on introducing evidence-informed regulations to officials at Health Canada. We come together with a group of key experts including palliative care professionals, therapists, MDs, non-profit supports, industry, medical and legal experts to communicate, petition, and deliver a regulatory framework that will transform the lives of Canadians who deserve access to medicine that can help them overcome their most debilitating mental anxieties.
Work with us, lend your support and help us create a new path for legal psilocybin-assisted therapy in Canada. #canadasupports
