Bill > HB06380

This bill seeks to decriminalize the possession of psilocybin, which is a psychoactive compound found in certain species of mushrooms often referred to as "magic mushrooms". By amending Title 21a of the general statutes, the proposed legislation would remove criminal penalties associated with possessing psilocybin. While the bill's text is brief, its intent is to reduce legal consequences for individuals who have psilocybin in their possession, potentially treating it more like a civil infraction rather than a criminal offense. The bill does not provide specific details about quantity limits, potential fines, or other regulatory specifics, focusing simply on the broad goal of decriminalization. This approach reflects a growing trend in some jurisdictions to reconsider the legal status of certain psychedelic substances, often citing potential medical research benefits or changing societal attitudes toward these compounds.
