Summary

You don't often hear Conservative MPs advocating for easier access to psychedelic drugs, but Saskatoon MP Corey Tochor has introduced a private member's bill that would make it easier for doctors to prescribe psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms. He says current federal rules are preventing patients from accessing potentially life-changing treatments for conditions like PTSD, depression, and addiction, and joins Brent to explain why he believes Canada's approach to psychedelic-assisted therapy needs to change.
