MDMA and psilocybin not approved for medicinal use in Australia
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has made an interim decision on whether some psychoactive drugs can be used to treat mental illness in Australia.
The TGA chose not to reschedule MDMA and psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, from a prohibited substance (schedule 9) to a controlled medicine (schedule 8).
A reclassification would not mean the drugs could be taken home with a patient or change any restrictions on recreational use of the substances.

Premium Content Exclusive: In the first course of its kind in the southern hemisphere, 100 Australian doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health care nurses, social workers and occupational therapists will be trained and ready to treat patients with party drugs such as MDMA and magic mushrooms. Course providers Mind Medicine Australia expect the first patients to be treated include those suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, and anorexia. Participating GP Dr Jamie Rickcord, who has worked in the NSW Northern Rivers for the past eight years, signed up for the $7000 course after finding current approaches to mental health treatment were not producing satisfactory outcomes.
