Bill > HF2699

This bill provides a comprehensive framework for the legal cultivation, possession, transportation, and personal use of psilocybin (a psychoactive compound found in certain mushrooms) by individuals 21 years of age or older in Minnesota. The legislation aims to reduce criminal justice burdens and allow personal decision-making regarding psilocybin use by establishing clear guidelines and protections. Key provisions include creating a Psychedelic Medicine Board to regulate and oversee psilocybin use, defining possession limits (not exceeding a one-year supply), and permitting individuals to cultivate psilocybin in a locked, enclosed space up to 12 feet by 12 feet at their primary residence. The bill also establishes important protections for users, preventing discrimination in employment, housing, and child custody based solely on lawful psilocybin use. Additionally, the legislation mandates public education programs about responsible use, potential risks, and harm reduction strategies, and provides training for first responders. The bill imposes certain restrictions, such as prohibiting use in public places, on school grounds, or while operating a motor vehicle, and creates modest civil penalties for violations. To support implementation, the bill includes appropriations for public education, harm reduction initiatives, and the newly established Psychedelic Medicine Board.
