…psychedelic… advance… 2024 ballot
Advocates looking to advance their ballot questions to the 2024 state elections cleared another hurdle Wednesday, December 6, 2024 when they submitted thousands of signatures to the secretary of state’s office.
Massachusetts for Mental Health Options, the group behind the psychedelics question, said they turned in more than 95,000 signatures to Galvin’s office. Supporters showed up with a mountain of boxes representing signatories from across the state. Winthrop Police Lt. Sarko Gergerian said Massachusetts is in a mental health crisis “of epidemic proportions.” “This has decriminalization for the five traditional psychedelics at home. But it also sets up the healing centers for people to go and work with trained facilitators. And there’s going to be levels of training for those facilitators,” Gergerian said. “Some people will need a more intensive type of care and some people need a lot less care.” The question would allow adults 21 and older to seek out regulated psychedelics in licensed therapeutic centers for mental health treatment, according to a summary prepared by Campbell’s office. It would also allow individuals to grow mushrooms at home.
