Doctors and others are administering substances, including psilocybin (i.e. magic mushrooms), ketamine, LSD and MDMA, in controlled settings to help patients with a variety of ailments. The international and Canadian domestic regulations associated with these substances are complex, with multiple organizations playing a role in regulating psychedelics.
