Legal Status of Psilocybin in Portugal
In 2001, Portugal decriminalized the personal use and possession of all illicit drugs, including psilocybin. This means that while possession for personal use is not a criminal offense, activities such as trafficking and cultivation remain illegal.
Despite decriminalization, psilocybin is still classified as a controlled substance, and its sale is prohibited.
At Syntara Retreats, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our participants by adhering to established safety protocols in psilocybin-assisted therapy:
-
Qualified Supervision: All sessions are conducted by trained therapists who provide continuous support throughout the experience.
-
Controlled Environment: Therapies are administered in a controlled setting designed to be peaceful and comfortable, minimizing external disturbances.
-
Comprehensive Screening: Participants undergo thorough assessments to ensure suitability for psilocybin therapy, identifying any potential contraindications.
-
Integration Support: Post-session integration is facilitated to help participants process and incorporate their experiences into daily life.
By implementing these protocols, we aim to provide a safe and supportive environment for all participants, addressing potential concerns and demonstrating our commitment to professionalism.
