Update on Psilocybin Rescheduling in Australia by Prof David Nutt
<p>Update on psilocybin rescheduling in Australia! Back in September 2020, Drugscience UK submitted evidence for the rescheduling of psilocybin to the Therapeutic Goods Administration. However, the TGA decided against rescheduling psilocybin based on ‘evidence’ from traditional bodies, which ignored modern research and even mistakenly claimed that psychedelics are addictive. We appealed and met with the TGA in June for a direct presentation of the evidence. This time, the TGA was much more receptive and are currently reviewing the decision.</p>

In this short video, experts such as Dr. Gabor Maté, Dr. Ben Sessa, Wade Davis, Dr. Alberto Villoldo and even patients of these treatments share their stories and experiences.

Trip of Compassion
The Most Compelling Movie I’ve Seen In The Last Year
<p>“I first watched “Trip of Compassion” about six months ago, when I was sent a link to a private video. The film had been broadcast once on Israeli television, but it wasn’t distributed or available anywhere else. This documentary affected me so deeply (and immediately) that I flew to Tel Aviv, met the filmmakers, and offered to help launch the film digitally worldwide. Everything I am doing for this film is 100% pro bono, and all proceeds go to the filmmakers.” – Tim Ferris</p>
