Legal and assessed, but the NT Council recommends “strongly restrained” use (30 June 2021, revised 6 November 2024) — in practice after roughly four failed treatment alternatives, with each of the 21 regions deciding its own funding.
Off-label use in some specialist and private settings; private infusions in Stockholm run roughly 4,500–5,000 SEK each (full courses 20,000–30,000 SEK), self-pay.
4,500–5,000 SEK/infusion
Psilocybin
Trials only — recruiting in 5 cities
Research-only — but Sweden is one of the better European countries for joining a psilocybin trial: studies recruiting in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala, Örebro and Lund (cancer-related depression, NCT06319378; anorexia nervosa, NCT07169747).
MDMA therapy is not available in any form, and no Swedish MDMA trial exists.
Medical Cannabis
Highly restrictive
Only Sativex (MS, specialist prescribing) and Epidyolex have been authorized since 2011; cannabis flower requires case-by-case licence prescription approved by the Medical Products Agency (~15–20 patients). Recreational: strictly illegal, zero-tolerance — use itself is criminal.
Several recruiting studies across five cities — one of the more accessible trial scenes. Participation is free; screening is strict; never pay for “trial access”.
Private (Stockholm). Off-label use in some specialist and private settings; private infusions in Stockholm run roughly 4,500–5,000 SEK each (full courses 20,000–30,000 SEK), self-pay.
