Challenging our Charter: Freedom of Thought

<p>When the Canadian Constitution, with its Charter of Rights and Freedoms, was passed in 1982, I doubt if those signing it into law could have possibly known it would be used in a constitutional challenge to legalize&nbsp;<em>Psilocybin</em>&nbsp;as a&nbsp;<em>Freedom of Thought</em>&nbsp;tool in 2024.</p> <p>It was a Monday. Anything but boring though as Paul Lewin &mdash; a veteran in Cannabis and Psychedelic Litigation in Canada &mdash; and I sat down to chat about his newest constitutional challenge.</p> <p>His latest case is based on the Fundamental Freedoms found in the Canadian Charter. He is challenging the constitutionality of psilocybin laws under section 2, that of&nbsp;<em>Freedom of Thought</em>&nbsp;suggesting that psilocybin is a freedom of thought tool.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@psychedelicassociation/challenging-our-charter-freedom-of-thought-1568fb88e5d9"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
