Other positive benefits of psilocybin reported improved mood, less fear of the future, increased sense of spirituality and connection, and enhanced quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The use of magic mushrooms is nothing new. Historians date the use of magic mushrooms back to the 16th century. Psilocybin therapy is both studied and used by highly legitimate medical establishments. In the United States, psilocybin was federally regulated and banned by the Drug Abuse Control Amendments of 1965 and is classified as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dea.gov\/drug-information\/drug-scheduling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schedule I drug<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Johns Hopkins University first received regulatory approval for psychedelic research in the year 2000. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2006, the first research paper by Johns Hopkins was published on the positive long-term impact of using psilocybin in a therapeutic study.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Psilocybin Policies Around the Nation<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s explore where psilocybin is legal, decriminalized, and on the ballot across U.S. states.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Legal<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorado and Oregon are the only states allowing legal therapeutic psilocybin use today. Both Colorado and Oregon allow patients to take psilocybin under the supervision of regulated and licensed \u201chealing centers.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colorado has a wider range of psilocybin use.

The \u201cNatural Medicine Health Act\u201d also opens the door for Colorado to open its own state-regulated \u201chealing centers\u201d to help provide psychedelic therapy for those experiencing mental health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Decriminalized<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decriminalization does not mean psilocybin is legal. Instead, it essentially makes arrests for psilocybin the lowest priority for law enforcement. While decriminalization decreases the negative impact of legal issues, it does not provide accessible, safe, and regulated psilocybin for those seeking treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/california-psychedelics-legalization-bill-skips-to-the-senate-floor\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">California<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Massachusetts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Michigan<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington, D.C.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b><br \/>\nOn the Ballot<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Some states are actively considering the legalization of psilocybin and other psychedelics.<\/p>\n<p><b>Connecticut<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gov. Ned Lamont signed a bill (HB 5506) to fund psychedelic therapy. The state bill would start the process of legalizing centers for veterans and first responders to receive psilocybin and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/researchers-weigh-in-on-the-hype-about-mdma-therapy\/\">MDMA<\/a> (a synthetic psychedelic) to treat mental health conditions like PTSD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Florida<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Florida presented two bills (SB 348 and HB 193).

This bill would also facilitate expungements for people with certain psilocybin-related convictions on their records.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Maryland<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maryland presented a bill that would create a $1 million fund to study alternative treatments for treating PTSD and traumatic brain injury (TBI) in military veterans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Minnesota<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rep. Andy Smith (D) stated that he is \u201cworking on a bill forming a psychedelic medicine task force so Minnesotans can access these life-affirming treatments. For decades scientific research into the positive effects of psychedelic medicine has been muzzled by the \u2018war on drugs,\u2019 but that is [starting] to change.\u201d Smith cited results from clinical trials showing that MDMA holds promise in the treatment of PTSD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Missouri<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rep. Tony Lovasco\u2019s psychedelics bill aims to provide therapeutic access to psilocybin for people with severe mental health conditions in the coming days. Lovasco said his forthcoming legislation had been modified from a broader version he introduced last year with input from a key committee. Last March, the earlier bill received a hearing in the House Health and Mental Health Policy Committee but did not advance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Montana<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Montana, two pieces of psychedelics reform legislation are being drafted for introduction in the 2023 session in Montana. One would legalize psilocybin for therapeutic use in the treatment of PTSD and other mental health conditions, according to a description. The other would be more incremental, mandating an interim study about providing access to psychedelics for medical use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>New York<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2021, state lawmakers proposed a legalization bill for adult possession of natural psychedelics. New York lawmakers recently pre-filed a bill for 2023 to legalize certain psychedelics like psilocybin and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-powers-of-ibogaine\/\">ibogaine<\/a> for adults 21 and older. This year, Linda Rosenthal (D) is sponsoring the legislation, which would amend state statutes to make legal the \u201cpossession, use, cultivation, production, creation, analysis, gifting, exchange, or sharing by or between natural persons of twenty-one years of age or older of a natural plant or fungus-based hallucinogen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>New Jersey<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Jersey Senate introduced a bill that would legalize psilocybin to treat certain disorders. A bill filed by Senate President Nicholas Scutari (D) last year that\u2019s been carried over into 2023 would legalize the possession, home cultivation, and gifting of psilocybin mushrooms for adults 21 and older.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Oklahoma<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In March 2022, Oklahoma state representatives presented a bill that, if approved, would allow clinical trials on psychedelics \u201cin relation to depression, anxiety, opioid use disorder, and dementia.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Texas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year, Texas Gov.

This includes a bill aimed at providing access to psilocybin for therapeutic use. This legislation from Del. Dawn Adams (D) would allow for the possession of psilocybin for people who\u2019ve received a prescription or \u201corder\u201d from a health professional to treat \u201crefractory depression or post-traumatic stress disorder or to ameliorate end-of-life anxiety.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Washington<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In January 2022, state legislators submitted a bill, the \u201cWashington Psilocybin Wellness and Opportunity Act\u201d (SB 5560), that would legalize the adult use of psilocybin for people 21 years or older.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alternative medicine is becoming more widely acknowledged and practiced than ever before, opening the door for therapies like psychedelics to enter the world of mainstream healthcare.
