GOP Governors In Vermont And Alaska To Weigh In On Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Task Force Bills
House members recently approved the Senate measure, that seeks to set up an eight-person psychedelic-assisted therapy working group, with amendments. Vermont Senators gave the green light to the revised language of the bill, S.114, on Friday, approving changes previously made in the state's House of Representatives. The bill, from Sen. Martine Larocque Gulick (D), which was first passed in the Senate, before the amendments in the House would "review the latest research and evidence of the public health benefits and risks of clinical psychedelic-assisted treatments" and "examine the laws and programs of other states that have authorized the use of psychedelics by health care providers in a therapeutic setting." Meanwhile, in Alaska, the state Senate members on Friday approved a House-passed measure to set up a task force with an aim to study how to license and regulate psychedelic-assisted therapy. That is if substances like MDMA and psilocybin are approved on the federal level.
