Closed Legalise production and use of psilocybin and LSD for medicinal purposes

Closed on

Legalise the production and use of psilocybin containing mushrooms and LSD so migraine and cluster headache sufferers can use them in their treatment.

Some studies suggest that Psilocybin and LSD can be effective at treating both conditions.

Migraines can leave people paralysed, unable to function for days.
Cluster headaches is a truly brutal and relentless condition causing an incredibly intense pain that can last for hours. They are listed as one of the most painful conditions.

Attacks can happen multiple times daily for weeks, months, even years with no remission.

Current medications can abort attacks effectively but lead to rebound attacks in higher frequency and intensity.

This vicious cycle can have a devastating impact on mental health and has led to suicides.
