House Bill 1 from Rep. LaShawn Ford, D-Chicago, would create a psychedelic therapy program for people 18 and older that employs “natural medicines produced and tested at licensed service centers,” according to a news release.

Specifically, Ford is advocating for the supervised use of #psilocybin, which is derived from so-called magic mushrooms. His measure would de-criminalize the substance but would not authorize retail sales.

*OHA is currently accepting applications for licenses for manufacturers, testing labs, service centers and facilitators.

“Once all four license types; the license applications for manufacturers, testing labs, service centers and facilitators are reviewed and we issue licenses, then service center doors can open,” Allbee explained.*

Letter: Rivers supports #psilocybintherapy

A state-regulated system of psilocybin facilitation centers can safely offer new treatments our veterans and neighbors desperately need.
