As of July 1, 2023, the status of psilocybin and MDMA will change from illegal drugs to medicines in Australia. This will pave the way for more research and therapy with these substances. Australia is the first country to do so and is therefore taking the lead. This will give people with depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD a better chance of living a fulfilling life.<\/p>\n<\/div> Unfortunately, the Netherlands is slow to adopt this approach, but fortunately, we are already permitted to work with psilocybin in the Netherlands without interruption through the use of magic truffles. In that respect, Australia isn't the first country to permit psilocybin therapy, but they are the first to classify psilocybin as a medicine. MDMA therapy has always been possible in the Netherlands as well, albeit with a legal MDMA analogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We don't know exactly when MDMA and psilocybin will be legally recognized as medicines. In the 2019 article below, we predicted legalization in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forecast for legalization of psychedelic therapy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n In 2022, we estimated the legalization of MDMA to be in 2024. See also this message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Forecast of legalization of MDMA therapy<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n In the Netherlands, it may take longer before we can expect full legalization. Perhaps it will help now that other countries are setting a good example. Therefore, our forecasts remain unchanged for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the time of writing, we at Triptherapie have helped over 1,800 clients experience a legal psychedelic session. We support them from preparation to session integration. The Triptherapie.nl website has only existed for five years, but our work began at least five years before that. Since then, we have become the market leader for individual sessions and have extensive experience with psilocybin and LSD sessions. We are pioneering the possibility of offering legal MDMA sessions as early as 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Interested in an MDMA or psilocybin session with us? We screen our applications for safety. Not everyone can participate in a session because some combinations with medications or conditions can be dangerous. Would you like a free screening and advice on the type of session and dosage that's right for you?
