The Medical Psilocybin Act—Senate Bill 219 was submitted last night in the New Mexico Legislature! This bill could shape New Mexico’s medical psilocybin framework.
Senators from both parties are supporting medical psilocybin mushroom program to address the mental health crisis.
Sponsors of Senate Bill 219 include Senator Jeff Steinborn, D-Las Cruces and Rep. Andrea Romero, D-Santa Fe. The program would make access available by Dec. 31, 2027, under which people could receive psilocybin treatment for ailments including major depression, post-traumatic stress and substance use disorders, end-of-life care and other conditions approved by the state Department of Health.
“Psilocybin research is revolutionizing mental health care, offering hope to patients battling depression, PTSD, and anxiety," Romero said in a statement. "With this legislation, New Mexico is leading the charge in treatment innovation, setting a powerful precedent for compassionate and science-backed care.”
