AN ILLINOIS LAWMAKER IS PUSHING TO LEGALIZE PSYCHEDELIC MUSHROOMS FOR THERAPEUTIC PURPOSES. (two stories, same lead).

THE NEW LEGISLATION IS DUBBED THE “ILLINOIS CURE ACT” AND IS SPONSORED BY REPRESENTATIVE LA SHAWN FORD OF CHICAGO. IT PAVES THE WAY FOR PEOPLE TO SEEK TREATMENT FOR CONDITIONS LIKE DEPRESSION, P-T-S-D AND CHRONIC PAIN USING PSYLOCIBIN (sill-oh-cy-bin).

FORD SAYS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF A TRAINED FACILITATOR OR THERAPY CENTER.

THE BILL ALSO CREATES AN ADVISORY BOARD, ADDRESSES RULES AND REGULATIONS AND LIFTS CRIMINAL PENALTIES FOR MUSHROOMS.
