This article surveys the sociological dimensions of the medicalisation of psychedelic‑assisted therapies, identifying advocacy, medicalisation/pharmaceuticalisation and health‑system integration as central issues and analysing regulation, stigma, monetisation and the socio‑political drivers of research and implementation. It contends these sociological dynamics will critically shape whether psychedelic medicine can be safely integrated as a potential paradigm shift in psychiatry.
