The Arizona House of Representatives has passed a significant bill that would legalize psilocybin service centers, bringing the state one step closer to embracing the therapeutic use of psychedelic substances. This bill, which has already cleared the Senate, now heads to Governor Katie Hobbs’ desk for final approval.
The proposed legislation aims to establish regulated environments where individuals can receive psilocybin treatments under professional supervision. Advocates argue that this move could provide much-needed options for those suffering from mental health conditions such as depression and PTSD, for which traditional treatments have proven inadequate.
Proponents of the bill highlight the growing body of research supporting psilocybin’s potential therapeutic benefits, while opponents raise concerns about safety and regulatory challenges. If signed into law, Arizona would join a small but growing number of states exploring the legal use of psychedelics for medical purposes.
