The psychedelic revival in addiction science: A social and policy analysis (2025-2028)

This international comparative project will explore the policy and social implications associated with the use of psychedelics as potential treatments for addiction in Australia and the UK. The project aims to: (1) explore how psychedelics are framed in drug policy for the treatment of addiction; (2) explore consumers, researchers, and policymakers¿ perspectives on psychedelics; and, (3) explore how psychedelics might be implemented within addiction policy and practice in the future. The benefit of the project will be to ensure that the future translation of psychedelics to practice is done in a responsible way where consumers and experts are consulted about their preferences for translation within policy and practice.
