New Jersey lawmakers have introduced a bill that would make it the third state to legalize “magic mushrooms.”
Under the legislation, anyone 21 and older could consume or grow the mushrooms for medical or recreational purposes.
The bill would also expunge past and pending offenses involving the psychedelic drug.
The bill comes as Hackensack Meridian, one of the state’s largest health care providers, and U.K. biotechnology company Compass Pathways partnered to research a synthetic psilocybin treatment, according to NorthJersey.com.
The state health department would oversee licenses for facilities for production and sales. Those sites would not be allowed in residential neighborhoods or within 1,000 feet of a school.
Residents would also be allowed to grow their supplies own at home in limited amounts for personal use.
