Psychedelics & First Responders: Jonathan A Hill on Psychedelics Clinical Trial for First Responders

Описание: In this episode of the MAPS Canada Podcast, Osheen Dayal hosts Jonathan Alexander Hill, co-founder of Empower Psychedelics. 🌿🎙️

Jonathan shares the mission behind Empower Psychedelics: advancing research, breaking stigma, and creating access to psychedelic therapy — especially for first responders. He discusses their Health Canada–approved clinical trial focused on firefighters, the unique benefits of group therapy, and the global interest among first responders in psychedelic healing.

This conversation highlights the importance of public education, collaboration with MAPS Canada, and distinguishing clinical practice from underground use. Jonathan also reflects on the future of legalization and how psychedelic access may differ from the cannabis model.

Working with partners in government, business, and the community, MAPS Canada is committed to advancing psychedelic medicine by supporting scientific, multidisciplinary research; advocating for drug policy reform; offering public education; and supporting equitable access to legal and regulated psychedelic medicine in Canada.

The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) was formed in the US in 1986, in response to the US Drug Enforcement Agency’s classification of MDMA as Schedule 1 substance, and has been developing medical, legal, and cultural contexts for people to benefit from the careful uses of psychedelics since then.

MAPS Canada was founded as a sister organization to MAPS in 2011, and is a registered Canadian non-profit organization. Based in Vancouver and with hundreds of volunteers from across Canada, MAPS Canada is moving forward to become the leading Canadian source of information, resources and advocacy regarding psychedelic medicine and related clinical research, education, and public policy.
