Psychedelic substances such as psilocybin (derived from certain species of mushrooms), LSD, and DMT have long been viewed as illegal and harmful. But an evolving body of scientific research suggests that these substances may have therapeutic benefits for people with mental health conditions such as depression, PTSD, and addiction. For example, a 2020 study by the Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research at Johns Hopkins University found that psilocybin can create lasting improvements in psychological functioning. We believe it's time for a change in the Philippines' stance on psychedelics. Make the Philippines a forerunner in transforming mental health treatment by legalizing and regulating the medical use of psychedelics under the supervision of healthcare professionals. Join us in urging the Philippine government to reconsider current laws related to psychedelics, explore the scientific evidence, and enact new legislation to allow controlled use in a therapeutic context.
