Psychedelic-assisted therapy can be used in conjunction with normal cancer therapy, but should never be considered a replacement for those treatments. We always recommend you listen to the advice of your healthcare team.

Prescribed medications for psychiatric conditions are important and should never be disregarded. Please notify your care team whenever you are considering psychedelics, especially regarding interactions with psychiatric medications. For more information about counseling options for people facing cancer, make sure you read through ASCO’s counseling webpage.

Psilocybin and most other psychedelics are classified as Schedule 1 drugs by the US Drug Enforcement Agency and considered illegal in most jurisdictions. Sachi does not advocate breaking the law.

Psilocybin and psychedelic assisted therapy should always be pursued under the guidance of a trained and qualified clinician as required in your local and state jurisdiction.

Sachi is committed to collecting and distilling information about psilocybin and its use in psychedelic assisted therapy for cancer patients. Most of the information on this site is aggregated from other sources (with appropriate links and credit), and we are committed to scientific, peer-reviewed, or reputable sources for information. Any opinions, expressed or implied, are those of Sachi alone and do not represent medical advice. Sachi does not make any recommendations about your cancer treatment or therapy regimen, or about any of the described methods for psychedelic assisted therapy.
