Psychedelic therapy in Canada exists in a bit of a gray area that’s gradually becoming clearer. Most psychedelics are still controlled substances, but Health Canada has been granting special exemptions for medical and research purposes. If you’re dealing with end-of-life anxiety or haven’t found relief from conventional treatments, you might qualify for psychedelic therapy. Healthcare providers can also apply for permission to work with restricted psychedelics in their practice. Training programs like those at ATMA CENA help healthcare professionals navigate this evolving legal landscape and prepare to offer these treatments properly. While the rules are still developing as more research proves these therapies work, recreational use remains illegal, and any legitimate therapy needs proper medical supervision and Health Canada authorization.
