New Mexico Bill To Create Psilocybin Therapy Program Heads To Governor’s Desk Following Lawmakers’ Approval
“There’s many different ways that this medication will help people”
The New Mexico House of Representatives has approved a Senate-passed bill to establish a therapeutic psilocybin program in the state.
The legislation from Sen. Jeff Steinborn (D), which passed the full Senate last week and cleared a House committee on Monday, advanced on the House floor in a 56-8 vote on Tuesday. It now heads to the governor.
If signed into law, the Medical Psilocybin Act would allow patients with certain qualifying conditions to access the psychedelic and use it under the guidance of a licensed healthcare provider.
Ahead of the vote, Rep. Stefani Lord (R) spoke about “how well this works with PTSD, OCD, drug addiction [and] depression.”
“There’s many different ways that this medication will help people,” she said.
