The legalization of psilocybin for therapeutic use is on the rise worldwide, but in the Netherlands, this process is still proceeding quite slowly, unfortunately. Nevertheless, there are some promising developments.
At Australia psilocybin has already been officially classified as a medicine as of July 1, 2023 for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression, and also MDMA is recognized there as a medicinal substance.

Australia was thereby the first country to officially grant these psychedelics medical status.
