- **Event Description**: This talk explores how drug policy decisions are made in the UK and the hurdles psychedelic science faces.About this EventAlex Piot: Magic Mushrooms and Messy PoliticsPsychedelics are generating considerable scientific and clinical interest as breakthrough treatments for mental health conditions, yet they remain tightly controlled and largely illegal even in medical contexts. Why? This talk explores how drug policy decisions are made in the UK and the hurdles psychedelic science faces. To illustrate the current limitations of drug policy we will draw upon examples from other areas of drug policy such as harm reduction and public health. Along the way, we’ll untangle the mix of politics, stigma, and evidence that shapes whether, and when, psychedelics might finally move from the lab to the mainstream.
