legalise psychedelics for medicinal use
We are calling on the UK government to reschedule psilocybin, a 'breakthrough' treatment for mental health. By rescheduling psilocybin from Schedule 1 to Schedule 2, research would become faster and cheaper, and doctors would be able to start prescribing the substance when they see fit.
Recent trials using psilocybin to treat depression and anxiety have returned staggering results, with 80% of patients reporting improved wellbeing or life satisfaction for up to six months from just a single dose. Psilocybin is currently a Schedule 1 substance which is not authorised for medical use and can only be supplied, possessed or administered in exceptional circumstances under a special Home Office licence.
