A newly introduced bill in Maine would legalize the therapeutic use of psilocybin, the primary psychoactive component of psychedelic mushrooms, and establish a licensed industry around the drug. The Maine Psilocybin Services Act, introduced by state Sen. Donna Bailey (D), would allow adults 21 and older to legally purchase psilocybin products from retailers and consume them under the supervision of a licensed “psilocybin service facilitators.” While the measure is intended to expand access to psilocybin to help treat anxiety, depression, and other mental health disorders, no specific medical diagnosis would be required of adults to access psilocybin therapy.
