SYDNEY - Australia on Saturday became one of the first countries in the world to allow the use of MDMA and magic mushrooms for medical treatment, in a bid to tackle certain mental health conditions.
Supporters of the move hope the drugs can provide breakthroughs for mental health patients, when other treatments have failed. Psilocybin gives patients a “psycho-spiritual effect, which you wouldn’t get on traditional drugs”, he said, adding that this “might make you feel differently about yourself, and your life... and hopefully, it will make you want to live”.
He said therapists would stay with patients while they are receiving the drugs during sessions that could cost in the region of A$1,000 each.Dr David Caldicott, an emergency medicine consultant and clinical drug researcher at the Australian National University, told AFP that the changes put Australia “very much ahead of the pack” in exploring the drugs’ medicinal benefits.
