Psilocybin is a step closer to legalization in Iowa after the state House overwhelmingly passed a measure, according to the Iowa Capital Dispatch.
House File 978, which passed 84-6, would establish a Psilocybin Production Establishment Licensing Board within the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, according to the news report.
The department would operate in a similar way to the existing Medical Cannabidiol Advisory Board that oversees the state’s medical cannabis program. The board would grant licenses for the production and administration of psilocybin products to people with various mental health needs.
The bill limits access to those 21 and older and a total of 5,000 patients who can be recommended psilocybin treatment, according to the Capital Dispatch.
The bill will move to the state Senate for further consideration.
