Medical Psilocybin

Psilocybe Cubensis, also known as magic mushrooms, primarily work through the compound psilocybin, which has been shown to have benefit for a variety of mental health disorders. New Mexico is just the thir state to legalize psilocybin for medical use, and the first public meeting of the board overseeing the program will take place Friday December 5th.

The Psilocybin Advisory Board will hold its first public meeting on Friday, a major step towards full implementation of the state’s medical psilocybin program. New Mexico is just the third state to legalize the drug associated with magic mushrooms to treat conditions like end-of-life anxiety and substance use disorder.

Medical psilocybin bill passes its final committee, but runs low on time for its final hurdle

Daniel Montaño

Senate Bill 219, legalizing medical psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, passed its last committee vote Monday, but still needs to pass a full house vote before it would head to the governor to be signed into law — but it only has five days left to get that done.

Psilocybin, the main psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, may soon be approved for medical use in the land of enchantment, bringing relief to people suffering from depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and end-of-life anxiety, after a bill was shown unanimous bipartisan support in committee late Tuesday evening.
