Massachusetts lawmakers will soon consider two separate proposals that would expand access to psilocybin, with both scheduled for public hearings on September 29. Those 21 and older could obtain a permit through the Department of Public Health (DPH) after completing a health screening and an educational course called the Psilocybin Regulation Educational Permit (PREP). The Joint Committee on Revenue has scheduled a hearing on the bill from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in hearing room A-1. Separately, House Bill 2532, sponsored by State Representative Lindsay Sabadosa (D), will be considered the same day by the Joint Committee on Public Health. The dual hearings on September 29 are set to bring these issues to the forefront as lawmakers debate whether Massachusetts should move forward with regulated psilocybin programs.
