Oregon Legalizes 'Magic' Mushrooms
  • 3 years ago
On Election Day, Oregon became the first-ever state to legalize psilocybin.
Psilocybin is a psychedelic compound found in "magic" mushrooms, for therapeutic use.
The state also decriminalized personal possession of the substance, says Business Insider.
Small studies have found psilocybin, when administered in a clinical setting, has great potential.
It is shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Proponents say it will make psilocybin more accessible to people who could benefit from it as a therapeutic.
