The European Pirate Party is proud to officially endorse the European Citizens’ Initiative for Psychedelic Assisted Therapy, a campaign calling on the European Commission to support research, access, and responsible regulation of psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Mental health remains one of the most pressing public health challenges of our time. Across Europe, millions of people are struggling with depression, PTSD, anxiety disorders and other mental health conditions. Traditional treatment options do not work for everyone — which is why new, evidence-based approaches are urgently needed.
Psychedelic-assisted therapy has shown strong clinical potential in recent research, but legal barriers, outdated stigma, and lack of harmonized EU policies continue to block progress. This ECI aims to change that by calling for a European strategy to support scientific research, training, and safe access to these therapies under medical supervision.
“This is an important opportunity for the EU to take mental health seriously and to base its decisions on science rather than outdated fear. Psychedelic-assisted therapy offers real hope to many people for whom existing treatments are not enough. Supporting research and responsible regulation is not just sensible policy — it’s a matter of human dignity.”
— Florian Roussel, Chair of the European Pirate Party
The European Pirates stand firmly for evidence-based policy, personal autonomy, and human rights. We believe mental health policy should be guided by scientific evidence and respect for individual choice, not by stigma or fear.
This European Citizens’ Initiative is a unique democratic tool that allows citizens to place issues directly on the EU agenda — but it needs one million signatures to succeed.
Sign the initiative today and help us push the EU toward a modern, rational, and compassionate approach to mental health care. Every signature counts.
