Massachusetts Voters to Decide on Psychedelic Legalization

The proposed law would allow adults to use and grow certain psychedelics under regulated conditions.

Question 4, the ballot measure, aims to legalize psilocybin and other natural psychedelics for adults over 21 for personal and therapeutic use.
The measure proposes a regulatory framework involving a Natural Psychedelic Substances Commission and Advisory Board to oversee licensing and therapy centers.
Advocates, including actress Eliza Dushku, argue that psychedelics offer new mental health treatment options, citing benefits for conditions like PTSD and depression.
Opponents express concerns about potential public health risks, including increased drugged driving incidents and unregulated home growth.
If passed, Massachusetts would join Oregon and Colorado as states legalizing psychedelics, with implementation set for December 15.
