To break the taboo on psychedelics, Michigan State Senator Jeff Irwin introduced a decriminalizing bill this month. The bill aims to lift the ban on psychoactive substances obtained from fungi and entheogenic plants like Psilocybin and Mescaline. By making these compounds available for therapeutic research and use, Senator Irwin has closed a major chapter on the unsuccessful war on drugs.
Michigan Senator on Psychedelic Therapy
According to Senator Irwin, psychoactive compounds like psilocybin and mescaline offer medicinal benefits, hold religious significance and carry minimal risk of abuse. Decriminalizing these substances will also save state money wasted on arresting people for possessing and using them.
The Bill’s Proposal
This new bill is co-sponsored by Democrat Senator Adam Hollier. Together, Hollier and Irwin intend to push for decriminalizing plant-based psychoactive compounds like DMT, Psilocybin, Mescaline, Ibogaine and Psilocylin. Commercial production and use would still be prohibited. But interested candidates can access these psychedelics under the professional guidance of counselors, spiritual leaders and therapists.
