Welcome to the second episode in our series on the potential of psilocybin-assisted therapy to help us live as well as possible with metastatic breast cancer.

In this episode, we talk to two women with breast cancer who had legal access to psilocybin-assisted therapy. Journalist and writer Erica Rex participated in a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins after being diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Mari Singfield, a young Canadian woman living with MBC, gained access through an exemption to Section 56(1) of the Canadian Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, a process facilitated by the organization, TheraPsil. 

Both women shared with us the process that they went through to gain legal access to psilocybin-assisted therapy, what the treatment was actually like for them,  and what, if anything, changed in their lives afterward.

This series has been led by series producer and co-host, Paula Jayne,  with assistance from co-host Lynda Weatherby, and senior producer and host, Lisa Laudico.

Thanks for listening!
