In this episode of Podcast Portugal, we’re joined by Bárbara Messias, activist and team member of PsychedeliCare — a groundbreaking European Citizens’ Initiative calling for the legalisation and regulation of psychedelic-assisted therapy across the EU. We explore why Portugal — with its progressive drug policy — could play a key role in the movement.

We also dive into the challenges of stigma, the need for EU-wide standards and clinical trials, and how citizens can support the initiative by signing the petition. If you're curious about the future of mental health care, alternative therapies, or how citizen action can shape EU law, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Visit www.psychedelicare.eu to learn more or sign the petition.
