ATMA, an Alberta-based company focused on delivering psychedelic-assisted therapy training and conducting psychedelic research, completed the first phase of the psilocybin clinical trial in 2022 to prove the compound’s safety when administered to healthy participants. While Kingston is an ideally central location for study participants to access, with approximately 40 per cent of the Canadian population within a three-hour radius, Firth said other partners are being sought to help include trial participants.
Research into the use of psilocybin in psychedelic-assisted therapy for mental disorders is finding beneficial outcomes, including a randomized clinical trial in 2020 by researchers from the Centre for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, which found rapid and sustained anti-depressant effects in patients suffering from major depressive disorder.
