The next great psychedelic state
The online psychedelic news magazine 'Tricycle Day' reports: "The next great psychedelic state: Okay, Utah. We see you. While everyone’s been waiting on California and Massachusetts to legalize psychedelics, Utah lawmakers really said “hold my beer.” (err, hold our mushrooms?) A new bill approved this week will allow Utah doctors to prescribe MDMA and psilocybin for their adult mental health patients. That makes Utah the first state in the US to authorize the use of psychedelics as a medical treatment. Even though both substances are still unapproved at the federal level, the new policy will go live on May 1. It does come with a few caveats, though. * Psilocybin and MDMA only: No funny business with LSD, DMT, mescaline, or any other controlled substances… for now. * No take-home doses: Treatment must be administered at hospital, under clinical supervision. * For select providers only: The program is only open to docs at hospital systems that that meet specific requirements. * Report cards required: Providers are expected to report patient outcomes and side effects back to the state by July 2026."
