California Senator Sees New Path to Get Psychedelics Decriminalization Bill Approved

The possession and use of psychedelic drugs won’t be allowed anytime soon in the state of California after a psychedelics bill failed to pass. Bill SB 519, which had advanced past the Senate, was passed by two committees and went through a series of amendments in an appropriations committee that removed ketamine from the list of allowed psychedelics and introduced possession limits. Despite that, psychedelic reform advocates say that the legislation was essentially gutted in an Assembly Appropriations Committee meeting last week, with lawmakers introducing provisions such as possession limits that irked many advocates. Before last week’s Appropriations Committee meeting,…

Psychedelics Advocates Put DEA Under Pressure Over Right to Try Laws

As per the federal and state Right-to-Try laws, terminally ill patients in the United States are allowed access to experimental drugs that have advanced past phase I testing but still haven’t received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In 2018, 41 states had passed right-to-try laws on top of the federal Right to Try Act, meaning a majority of Americans could access unapproved drugs should they need them. With psychedelics currently experiencing a surge in mainstream and scientific interest due to their potential as alternative mental health treatments, there has been increased interest in the mind-altering drugs for…

Second Psychedelics Initiative Fails to Qualify for Colorado Ballot

Psychedelic enthusiasts, activists and researchers in Colorado will be sad to know that there won’t be two measures to legalize psychedelics on the November ballot. Two separate campaigns have pushed their own psychedelic measures since the start of the year, with only one campaign managing to collect enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. In late July, activists behind the Natural Medicine Health Act submitted around 100,000 signatures to the secretary of state’s office. The measure wants to legalize the possession of specific psychedelics, seal the records of people with prior psychedelic convictions and create a framework for psilocybin treatments.…

Psilocybin Lawsuit Filed in Canada May Boost Global Psychedelics Reform Efforts

Canada banned psychedelics more than 30 years ago, outlawing the production, sale and use of psychedelics, including psilocybin, for decades. Most countries around the world followed suit and banned psychedelics. However, psychedelic drugs were still quite popular despite being prohibited due to their mind-altering effects. In recent years, this mainstream popularity has reached an explosive level, especially regarding psychedelics' ability to treat mental health conditions, resulting in a surge in psychedelic research. A new psilocybin lawsuit in Canada now has the potential to spur a wave of psychedelics reform not only in Canada but in the United States as well.…
