Palliative patients await August 4 Canadian government decision on psilocybin access

Four terminally ill Canadians expect to hear soon from the government about access to psilocybin.

They anticipate receiving word on August 4 regarding their request to legally obtain the substance found in psychedelic mushrooms.

Studies show that psilocybin alleviates anxiety and depression for people facing end-of-life situations.

The four patients earlier submitted requests with federal Minister of Health Patty Hajdu. They sought exemptions under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA).

Section 56 of the CDSA authorizes the minister of health to approve applications if these are “necessary for a medical or scientific purpose or is otherwise in the public interest”.

Support from TheraPsil

TheraPsil advocates for compassionate access to psilocybin-assisted therapy for palliative Canadians.

The Victoria, B.C.-based nonprofit supported the patients in their requests with the health ministry.

Executive director Spencer Hawkswell and physician and board member Dr. Sean O’Sullivan recently spoke by phone with Michelle Boudreau, Director General of the Office of Controlled Substances.

TheraPsil issued a media release on July 29. It stated that the agency advised that the applications will be treated as a group.

Thomas Hartle, a patient from Saskatchewan, expressed optimism about the government’s expected response.

“It has been a long wait for some of us, and the possibility that relief may finally be in sight is encouraging,” Hartle said in TheraPsil’s media release.

Marcus Powlowski serves as the Liberal MP for Thunder Bay—Rainy River.

On July 15, Powlowski sent an email to Hajdu. He expressed support for the Section 56 exemptions sought by the patients.

“One of the few things in life that is worse than death is, perhaps, the fear of death, as experienced by those with a terminal diagnosis,” Powlowski wrote.

The Liberal MP stated that it would be a “real shame if any of the people requesting the exemption, die before they are given the exemption”.

“For some people a belief in god, and an afterlife, may bring them solace but for those who do not have such faith there are really very few, if any, medical options,” Powlowski wrote.

Armed with a keyboard and an insatiable curiosity, he embarked on the path of software engineering. However, fate had a smoky twist in store for him. As the ones and zeros swirled around him, Kirk had an epiphany – he realized that he was more interested in the highs and lows of the cannabis industry than debugging lines of code. With a leap of faith that would make a bungee jumper blush, he bid farewell to the world of semicolons and database queries and embraced the intoxicating allure of cannabis journalism. Now, Kirk finds himself navigating a different kind of network, one that's all about buds, trichomes, and terpenes. Armed with a pen that's mightier than a vaporizer and a keen eye for detail, he's on a mission to unravel the mysteries of the green world.
