Maine Legislature narrowly passes bill to decriminalize ‘magic mushrooms’
The House of Representatives endorsed the bill in a 70-69 vote on Monday that was followed Tuesday by a 17-16 vote in the Senate. The measure faces further action in both Democratic-led chambers, with Gov. Janet Mills looming as a potential obstacle after her administration sent police to testify against decriminalization earlier this year.
Advocates including the libertarian Reason Foundation have noted the potential for medical treatment and the low toxicity of psilocybin, calling Lookner’s bill “a modest step forward in drug policy reform” in testimony to the Legislature’s public safety committee earlier this year.
