In the past few months, I wrote something about SB-519, California Senator Scott Wiener (Scott Wiener) introduced a bill earlier this year aimed at legalizing a large number of psychedelic drugs-from psilocybin to ketamine to LSD (you can read these Post Here, Here, with Here). SB-519 has passed the California State Senate and is now (hopefully) passing a general vote and passing Congress before being signed into law by Governor Newsom.

When SB-519 was first proposed, I very much doubted whether it had any chance of success, because in the past three years, despite many attempts, the California legislature failed to even pass the CBD bill. However, the passage of SB-519 through certain parts of the Senate and Parliament seems to indicate that the bill may have a chance of success.

If you have not read my previous post, please remember that SB-519 is Is not The legalization bill but the decriminalization bill may be the reason why it has received attention in the first place. Legalization is different from decriminalization because legalization usually results in a regulated market, while decriminalization usually reduces or eliminates penalties, and nothing more.

In other words, SB-519 will not cause psychedelic pharmacies, but if people use or possess psilocybin, for example, this may eliminate a lot of punishment. That said, keep in mind that the California legislature is much more conservative than you might think, so some changes have been made to the bill to limit its breadth.Recently, the bill was Fix Increasing the personal ownership limit-those who possess more than the limit may still be subject to more severe penalties.

If SB-519 is passed, there may be more changes between now and signing.

With SB-519 winding its way through the legislature, marijuana is the latest Report California activists submitted a petition to the state calling for the initiation of the voting process for psilocybin legalization Measures that will be used in the 2022 elections. This initiative is called the California Cyrosibin Initiative 2022 (CPI), and it is legalized by California and submitted to the California Attorney General.

The scope of CPI is extremely broad, much broader than the legalization law of psilocybin in Oregon, and even wider than the cannabis law in California. It will allow unlimited ownership, use by anyone over 21, planting on private property, etc.

The law will grant the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) very limited regulatory authority, but clearly stipulates that, except for those evaluating normal non-psilocybin products, no license or taxes may be imposed on psilocybin.The law will allow companies in agricultural production areas on land approved by the CDFA to start producing psilocybin on January 1, 2023, and any Companies with a seller’s license can start selling psilocybin products to people 21 and older (this may include a large number of companies). There will also be labeling requirements that are no different from the cannabis labeling requirements (but still more limited than the cannabis labeling requirements).

This is just a short summary, but as you can see, CPI goes further than any type of legalization bill on psilocybin and even marijuana that I have seen. Unless it is modified, I think this chance of success is very slim. But we must wait and see. At the same time, let us have high hopes for SB-519.
