What Canada’s New Controlled Substances Regulations Mean for Psychedelics
This webinar will explore what regulatory changes do (and do not) mean for psychedelic access, professional scope of practice, and patient care in Canada.
Canada’s new Controlled Substances Regulations mark an important shift in how controlled substances are regulated nationally. But what do these changes actually mean for patients, practitioners, pharmacists, clinics, and the future of psychedelic-assisted therapy? Join our panel as we unpack what changes are in place for psilocybin and MDMA (and other psychedelics!) authorization through the Special Access Program, and what remains unchanged. We’ll also explore the general practical implications for SAP prescribing, possession, storage, transportation, administration, drug accountability, and professional scope. and what the new framework and private member bills could mean for future psychedelic access in Canada.
