What the petition asks
Legalise the Medicinal use of Psilocybin.
There has been studies that have shown Psilocybin as an effective treatment for physical issues and Mental health issues - Depression, PTSD, addiction, anorexia. Why deprive people a drug that could change their life without the side effects of traditional medicines.
When used in medical and scientific settings psilocybin, much like ketamine, could be a cost effective, high yield, life changing medication. It would create Jobs, opportunities and money for the NHS
