Canada just approved the use of magic mushrooms, though not recreationally. The government just announced that terminally ill patients would be allowed to use psychedelic mushrooms to ease their end-of-life anxiety, as part of a “psilocybin therapy” program.
Studies have shown that the mushrooms can help ease anxiety and depression. In April, four terminally ill Canadians asked for government approval to obtain and use “magic mushrooms,” and that permission has now been granted.
