Abstract

The unprecedented progress in the science and clinical investigation of psychedelic medicine will require those in healthcare leadership and the legislative policy arena to conceptualize how future reforms, policy creation, and clinical practice should occur to broaden access to these agents while simultaneously maximizing effectiveness and mitigating harm. The pharmacy profession has surprisingly had little engagement on this front. This article provides a perspective commentary and overview of potential future strategies in legal reform, professional regulatory authority policy creation, and pharmacy operations regarding the psychedelic agents’ psilocybin and methylenedioxymethamphetamine, using Canada as a national case study.
