Bill > A06065

This bill legalizes the adult possession and use of certain natural plant or fungus-based hallucinogens, such as DMT, ibogaine, mescaline, psilocybin, and psilocyn. It grants protections for individuals lawfully using these hallucinogens, including preventing professional discipline, denying medical care or insurance, or restricting parenting time. The bill also removes these hallucinogens from the list of Schedule I controlled substances under state law, while maintaining their status as controlled substances for the purpose of certain criminal provisions. Additionally, the bill allows local municipalities to adopt policies related to these hallucinogens and prohibits state or local law enforcement from assisting with federal enforcement actions for conduct permitted under the bill.
