"The mushrooms told me that I can lie in my bed and count the days, or I can get up and continue living with a disease."

That's Buck Allgood, and get up is exactly what he did.

We met Buck in 2022, and are so happy and proud to support Claire Ward's film about him, ALLGOOD, screening at Hot Docs in Toronto on Nov 26.

In June 2018, doctors gave Buck a year to live. A tumour the size of a golf ball on his brain stem and spinal cord.

He was 28. It was the night of his wedding rehearsal dinner.

ALLGOOD is his story.

Join us for the Toronto screening at the Hot Docs Theatre on November 26.

We went to the International Palliative Care Congress in Montreal to connect with practitioners and make a case we believe in: psilocybin therapy could become a standard of care for end-of-life distress.

The research is there, and it belongs in these rooms. We’re grateful for every conversation, even the skeptical ones.

Do you think psilocybin therapy belongs in end-of-life care? Tell us below.

See you in 2028.

Two days before his wedding, Steven "Buck" Allgood was told he had an aggressive brain cancer and nine to twelve months to live.

His doctor told him to "go home, eat burgers, drink b**r, and make memories."

Buck had other plans. He turned to psilocybin-assisted therapy to face his fear of dying.

Seven years later, Buck is still here. He'll be at Hot Docs in Toronto on Nov 26 for a screening of ALLGOOD, the documentary about him from filmmaker Claire Ward, followed by a live conversation. Pay what you can.

TheraPsil is honoured to be the training partner for Building Capacity and Healing, a First Nations-led study from the First Nations Health and Social Secretariat of Manitoba.

FNHSSM works with 63 First Nations across Manitoba to advance health and well-being and support First Nations-led decision-making in care.

Led by Principal Investigator Dr. Wanda Phillips-Beck, the study pairs traditional teachings and healing practices with education on psychedelic-assisted therapy, building readiness among the healers, clinicians, and wellness workers who support people through PTSD and substance use.

TheraPsil provides the psilocybin education, and the training is free for everyone who takes part.

If you support patients within the treaty territory of the Cree (Ininiwak), Métis, and Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) peoples, this is for you. The training runs over two weekends: November 6 to 8 and 20 to 22. Expressions of interest close October 14.

Thank you to FNHSSM for welcoming us into this work.

Head to therapsil.ca/FNHSSM to learn more, and please share!

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Children taken from their families and sent to residential "schools," some as young as four. Thousands never came home. The families who waited for them, and the survivors who carry it still, are who we hold in mind today.

We sit with that.

The medicines we advocate for have been held by Indigenous peoples for healing and ceremony for thousands of years. That knowledge was a gift, and honouring it means listening to the communities it came from and keeping their voices at the centre of this work.

To Indigenous friends, colleagues, and communities: we're grateful, we're listening, and we're with you, today and every day.

One week until we sit down with MP Corey Tochor.

Corey is the MP behind Thomas' Bill (Bill C-286), which would change federal law to let doctors prescribe psilocin and psilocybin as medical treatment.

He'll be joined by clinical pharmacist Jagpaul Kaur Deol and our CEO Spencer Hawkswell to talk about where the bill actually stands and what it will take to move it.

Tuesday October 6, 2:00 PM PT / 5:00 PM ET.

Free to attend.
