Psilocybin in Canada, month by month.
Once a month we list what changed for psilocybin in Canada: the law, the clinical trials, the routes to lawful access, and the culture around it. Every item is dated and linked to the source we read.

How we make it
The method.
Each edition covers one calendar month and is updated to the month’s end. If we can’t confirm something at a source, it stays out, and when we checked something that didn’t change, we say so.
What counts
- A change to federal or provincial law, regulations or official guidance about psilocybin in Canada, including the date an official page was updated.
- A Canadian psilocybin study that appears, changes status or posts results on ClinicalTrials.gov, read from our trial tracker’s daily registry data.
- A change to the lawful access routes: clinical trials, Health Canada’s Special Access Program and section 56 exemptions.
- Museum shows, archives and history projects in Canada about psilocybin and mushrooms.
- New educational pages on Shroomverse, so you can see what we added and where.
What we leave out
- Rumours, predictions and anything we could not confirm at a source.
- Company share prices, investment news and product sales.
- Police reports about individual people or stores.
- News from other countries, unless it is linked to a Canadian study or decision.
