This bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan by adding a new 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 respective substance, use it solely for personal purposes, and have a medical record indicating a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
The bill aims to address the therapeutic use of psilocyn and psilocybin for individuals suffering from PTSD, thereby allowing them legal access to these substances under regulated conditions. By establishing these criteria, the legislation seeks to provide a framework for the responsible use of psilocyn and psilocybin while ensuring that only those with a legitimate medical need can benefit from their use.
