AI Summary

This bill aims to regulate the use of a prescription medicine containing 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), which is used in psychotherapy and the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. The key provisions are: 1) Capping the cost of an MDMA treatment service unit, which includes prescribed and controlled administration of MDMA and related therapy, at $5,000; and 2) Removing MDMA from the list of Class B controlled substances in Massachusetts, which would allow for its use as a prescription drug once approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The bill will take effect upon FDA approval of MDMA as a prescription drug.
