    The ban will lead to … increased suicidality …

    Is there any high quality evidence this is the case?

      Define “high quality.” For example, running double-blind studies with a control group in a scenario involving medical care for potentially suicidal patients isn’t really feasible because that would be widely considered to be super unethical, mmkay?

        I’m sure there are established methods for studying interventions in people who are mentally ill or suicidal.

            That’s a very strange argument you are trying to build, it does not matter what random individuals think online. The standards for high quality evidence are already well established in medicine. You can argue with those bodies if you disagree. Write a paper perhaps?

      Things should be allowed by default, if someone wants to ban something the onus is on them to prove that the ban is necessary which by their own admission they have failed to do in this case.

      The decision resulted from a health ministry finding of a lack of “high-quality evidence that demonstrates the benefits or risks”, Brown added in a statement.

        You seem to grossly misunderstand medicine. The onus is literally the opposite to what you describe
