In our inaugural podcast, I speak with Thomas Hartle, a father and husband, who was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer in 2016. Since then he has completed approximately 80 chemotherapy treatments. At one of his lowest points, Thomas discovered the healing properties of psilocybin, which turned out to the be only modality that successfully, and without side-effects, alleviated the acute anxiety experienced due to his illness. He became the first Canadian to receive an exemption to use psilocybin as a treatment. The process Thomas had to go through was cumbersome and expensive. While his first request was granted, it was valid for a one-year period. His second application for an additional one-year exemption was denied after a 511 day wait. Had you spoken to Thomas prior to 2016, you would have never imagined that a few years later he would become the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against the Canadian Government claiming access to therapeutic psilocybin is a constitutional right under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms for the thousands of Canadians that can benefit from the treatment. This is his story.
