Rhode Island lawmakers discuss bill to legalize psilocybin
Rhode Island lawmakers held a hearing on a newly reintroduced bill that would exempt psilocybin from the state’s laws against controlled substances, legalizing possession and home cultivation for personal use.
“I’m optimistic that we’d be able to actually move this into law this year. And for what this bill does, so we’re clear, this is just simply a decriminalization effort for personal possession,” Rep. Brandon Potter… said. “So if for nothing else, however you feel about the subject, I think you know most people can agree this is not something where we really should be prioritizing law enforcement action and subjecting people to criminal prosecution for.” Under the bill, sharing psilocybin – the main psychoactive compound in psychedelic mushrooms – would also be permitted.
