Missouri grants bill for psychedelics

 

Missouri lawmakers have approved a bill to research the restorative potential of psychedelics, such as psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine. 

  The bill is part of two proposals seeking reform in how veterans are treated and heard.

  • The proposed measure would allow the state Department of Health and Human Services to collaborate with a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital in exploring the potential therapeutic advantages of psychedelics.
    • Conditions include PTSD, severe depression, substance misuse disorder, and end-of-life care.
  • The House Veterans Committee unanimously voted to approve the bill proposed by Rep. Dan Houx.
  • The bill's proponents praised the treatment, noting its capacity to significantly alter lives with few sessions and extensive research backing the efforts up.

  • More than a dozen U.S. states have suggested legislation decriminalizing or legalizing psychedelic substances, including ketamine, MDMA, and psilocybin.
