An act relating to decriminalization of psilocybin-containing mushrooms and the establishment of the Psilocybin Therapeutic Consultation Program

H 452 proposes to decriminalize the personal possession, cultivation, and noncommercial use of psilocybin-containing mushrooms for adults aged 21 and older in Vermont. It establishes the Psilocybin Therapeutic Consultation Program to create a regulated framework for therapeutic use. Licensed health providers (including mental health professionals, physicians, and nurse practitioners) would undergo certified training to offer initial evaluations, guided sessions in safe environments, and post-session support. The program aims to develop education and safety protocols for psilocybin use under state law, though the bill is currently pending review by the Human Services Committee.
