This bill seeks to legalize the cultivation, possession, transportation, and personal use of psilocybin for individuals aged 21 and older in Minnesota, while removing criminal and civil penalties associated with these activities. It establishes the Psychedelic Medicine Board to oversee regulations, including guidelines for cultivation and possession limits, and mandates public education and harm reduction programs related to psilocybin use. The legislation also introduces protections for users in employment, housing, and custody matters, and outlines penalties for violations, particularly for individuals under 21 or those using psilocybin in prohibited areas.

Additionally, the bill requires the development of training programs for first responders on best practices for handling psilocybin-related situations, coordinated with various state agencies. It establishes a community outreach grant program to fund education on safe psilocybin use and integration resources for users. The bill includes appropriations from the general fund for fiscal years 2026 and 2027, allocating funds for public education initiatives and first responder training, as well as for the community outreach grant program managed by the Psychedelic Medicine Board.
