Arizona is taking the first steps to what could be legalizing the use of certain mushrooms – specifically psilocybin – for use for some people.
Officials from the Arizona Department of Health Services have published a notice that they will be accepting applications to conduct clinical trials on the efficacy of psilocybin whole mushrooms to treat various conditions, disorders and diseases.
It follows approval earlier this year of legislation specifically mandating the study to see whether the drugs in the mushrooms can help those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
