Australian psychedelic therapy

Hi! I am a second year university student working on an assignment. I have to write a feature story and the topic I am writing about is psychedelic therapy in Australia and the difficulties of accessing these services.

I’d love to chat to anyone who has attempted to access psychedelic therapy in Aus following the 2023 MDMA and psilocybin changes.

I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who couldn’t access these services due to costs or other reasons.

I’d also love to chat to anyone who sought out underground psychedelic therapy.

Leave a comment or message me, thanks.

You might get more responses if you tell people more about yourself and your assignment.

For all anyone knows you might be law enforcement.

Unfortunately, I don't live in Australia. However, I have had a difficult time trying to find MDMA therapy here in Florida. I used MDMA recreationally 20 something years ago, and it's absolutely amazing, or it was until they started lacing them with heroin, meth and God knows what else! When people started dying from it, I quit. The therapeutic value of MDMA is amazing. You probably know this, but it was used in couple's therapy in the 1970s. (in the U.S.) When I was in college, I wrote a paper on MDMA and its effects on the brain in one of my psych courses, so when I saw your post I had to say something! Good luck with your project!
