New Jersey Senate Panel Approves Psilocybin Therapy Legalization Bill

New Jersey is moving the ball forward

A New Jersey Senate committee has approved a bill that would legalize a therapeutic psilocybin program in the state, with even hesitant lawmakers saying that they’re coming around on the psychedelics proposal.

Members of the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee voted almost unanimously Monday—with one member, Sen. Douglas J. Steinhardt (R), abstaining—to adopt a handful of amendments to the bill, S.2283, and advance it out of committee.

“I was for certain a hard no,” Steinhardt said before the vote, “but I’m listening and contemplating.”

Some of the members at Monday’s Senate committee hearing were visibly swayed by testimony from advocates who spoke in favor of the change. One speaker, for example—lawyer Lauren Dayton, who has served as a local elected official for the borough of Tenafly—explained that a single dose of psilocybin can effectively curb her otherwise incapacitating cluster headaches.
