Bill > HB4686

This bill proposes to create an exception to existing controlled substance laws in Michigan that would allow individuals diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to possess and use small amounts of psilocyn and psilocybin without legal penalty. Specifically, the bill permits individuals 18 years or older to possess up to 2 ounces of substances containing these psychedelic compounds, provided they have a medical record confirming their PTSD diagnosis and the substances are intended for personal use. Psilocyn and psilocybin are psychoactive compounds found in certain species of mushrooms, often referred to as "magic mushrooms," which have been studied for potential therapeutic effects in treating mental health conditions like PTSD. The bill would modify existing sections of Michigan's Public Health Code (specifically sections 7401, 7403, and 7404) to create this legal exemption, essentially decriminalizing possession and use of these substances for this specific medical context.
