As Canada’s most populous province, Ontario is at the forefront of research and advocacy for psychedelic-assisted therapy. However, as with many emerging treatments, access remains a challenge for rural and smaller communities.

The primary legal pathways for psilocybin access in Canada are the Special Access Program (SAP) and participation in clinical trials. Upon approval under the SAP, healthcare practitioners may purchase psilocybin through licensed suppliers. This has become the primary pathway for therapists to work with this modality in a therapeutic context. Psilocybin Therapy Ontario is lengthy and can take months to complete. Once authorized, healthcare practitioners must then find a supplier to supply them with psilocybin for each session.

If you are considering undergoing psilocybin therapy, it is important to find a qualified therapist who has been trained in this work.
