#3The objective of the regulatory amendments is to restore the possibility for practitioners to request access to restricted drugs through the Special Access Program. In practice, this means that practitioners will, on behalf of patients with serious or life-threatening conditions, be able to request restricted drugs through the Special Access Program in instances where other therapies have failed, are unsuitable, or are not available in Canada.
These amendments would also remove cocaine from the definition of “restricted drug,” so that all cocaine products are regulated as narcotics under the Narcotic Control Regulations. Regulating all cocaine products under the Narcotic Control Regulations will remove complexity for stakeholders applying to conduct or conducting activities with cocaine.

What do you mean? Ivermectin is perfectly legal for medical uses. It's a miracle drug for curing parasitic worms.
Edit; yes, it was fairly obvious that you were simply trying to stir up a divisive political squabble in a completely unrelated story.

#6Good, I’m supportive.
Even if you think psychs are not positive or moral, it’s pure bad faith to use that as a reason to exclude them from research.
It’s mind boggling that amphetamines, benzos, etc have been common in clinical settings for years, but not organic compounds derived from various fungal species (psilocybe and ergot) both of which have lived alongside us (or vice versa) for centuries if not millennia.

#7I'm pleased to see that we're starting to study these substances. It seems absurd that we wouldn't have - after all, they're a part of our common heritage. Hopefully this leads to new insights.

It's strange, I thought they had to provide both in French and English? Nevertheless I found this: https://globalnews.ca/video/8497644/psychedelics-approved-fo... but it's not quite the same, heh.
Just used Google to translate it (had to right click, and go to Translate)

Bilingualism in Canada is not about providing both languages automatically in all contexts. Radio-Canada and the CBC are two distinct public broadcasters under a shared corporate structure.
So they have two websites, two networks of stations (TV and radio), and they share buildings where it makes sense, but a news article in French Radio-Canada will not mean the English CBC will even be interested to publish anything on the subject.
C'est deux solitudes.

There's a difference between a public broadcaster and say, tax documents when it comes to how bilingualism is applied.
