​​Magic mushrooms and MDMA may be introduced to Australia for mental health conditions.

These prohibited drugs may be approved in Australia for mental health purposes as early as December.

The Therapeutic goods administration review found over 100 milligrams of MDMA to significantly improve Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It also made a difference in adults with autism who suffered social anxiety. 

Chairman of Mind Medicine Australia, Peter Hunt, says “What we need now is a nationally standardised approach for providing medical approvals for those who are suffering desperately.”
