• 25% of 50-64 years old
• 12% over 65 years old

These negative emotions are so severe that even two weeks before this study, one in four Canadians (23%) feel they should die or get injured. I was thinking about that.

Canadian coping mechanism

Even though 76% of Canadians reported that they had never tried psychedelic, one in three Canadians (34%) supported the use of psychedelic supportive care after explaining the process, and 20%. Accepts to try psychedelic therapy with professional assistance. , An additional 25% want to know more about it.

One in three (34%) who hesitated to try psychedelic supportive care said they were not familiar with it or were afraid of possible side effects (34%). I did it because I didn’t know. ).

Mike Dow, Certified psychedelic supportive care specialist. “”Canada’s The mental health system has been in tension for years, and the COVID-19 pandemic only exacerbated the problem.
