ACT Greens’ MLA Johnathan Davis wants Canberra to be the first jurisdiction to provide an accessible path for psychiatrists to prescribe psychedelic-assisted therapy to patients experiencing serious mental concerns.
At a Mind Medicine screening of Israeli documentary Trip of Compassion this week, Mr Davis told the audience he wanted the ACT to lead a nationwide push to get Psilocybin and MDMA rescheduled from a schedule-nine substance to a schedule-eight substance.
Psychedelic-therapy advocacy group Mind Medicine are driving a push for the change after the Department of Health handed down an interim decision last month not to reschedule the drugs.
