Crimes: controlled substances; creating, manufacturing, possessing, or using psilocybin or psilocin; allow under certain circumstances. Amends 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.1101 - 333.25211) by adding sec. 7404a.
This bill proposes to create a legal exception for adults in Michigan who have a diagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder. It would allow individuals aged 18 and older to legally possess up to two ounces of psilocybin or psilocin for personal use if they have a medical record confirming their PTSD diagnosis. The legislation specifically removes criminal liability for creating, manufacturing, possessing, or using these substances under these strict conditions. By adding a new section to the state's public health code, the bill aims to provide a regulated pathway for therapeutic access to these compounds for qualifying patients.
