The bill amends the Public Health Code to add section 7404a, which provides specific legal protections for individuals who create, manufacture, possess, or use psilocyn and psilocybin under certain conditions. To be exempt from violations of sections 7401, 7403, or 7404, individuals must be 18 years or older, possess no more than 2 ounces of the substance for personal use, and have a medical record indicating a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

This legislation aims to recognize the potential therapeutic benefits of psilocyn and psilocybin for individuals suffering from PTSD, while establishing clear guidelines for legal possession and use. By setting these criteria, the bill seeks to ensure that only those who meet specific health-related requirements can benefit from the use of these substances without facing legal repercussions.
