Trials

A trial is free, medically supervised, and in most of Canada the only legal way to receive psilocybin for alcohol use disorder. It is also research: entry criteria are strict, you may be randomised to a low dose, and you commit to months of follow-up. Status changes without notice; the study page or registry link is the source of truth.
