Governor Gavin Newsom has vetoed Senate Bill 58, which would have allowed adults to possess small amounts of mescaline, DMT, and psilocybin, the hallucinogen in magic mushrooms
The bill would have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of certain plant-based psychedelics for adults over the age of 21: mescaline, dimethyltryptamine , and psilocybin, the hallucinogen found in magic mushrooms. The bill also would have allowed possession of related drug paraphernalia and the home cultivation of psilocybin-containing mushrooms for personal use.
Federal funding wasn’t available again until 2021, when Johns Hopkins University was awarded a $4 million grant. University-based research groups often work in partnership with organizations like the Heroic Hearts Project or MAPS, the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies. Overall, those studies have shown psilocybin’s promise for treating mental illnesses.
