Science and Research committee  Certainly. In the context of my own research, the thing I found is that Christian clergy were brought into the context. That represents certain problems, of course, in terms of cultural appropriation and the like, but I think bringing in western professionals alongside indigenous healers in guiding that practice would be one way that we might consider the answering of that question.

Science and Research committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The criminalization of substances such as LSD—lysergic acid diethylamide—peyote, psilocybin and the like in the last half century or so brought to an end a very fruitful period of research into the clinical and therapeutic benefits of these substances in both medical and psychiatric contexts.
