California Legalization

California should legalize psilocybin therapy in medical settings first. People struggling with depression, PTSD, anxiety, and addiction deserve more treatment options, especially when traditional treatments do not work.

My Position

California should legalize psilocybin therapy for medical use first, with strict rules for screening, supervision, preparation, dosage control, and follow-up care. Recreational use should only be considered later after a safe system is created.

Oregon and Ketamine Examples

Oregon’s Model

Oregon shows that psilocybin can be regulated through preparation, guided sessions, trained facilitators, and safe locations.

Ketamine Therapy

Ketamine treatment shows that drugs with risks can still be used safely in medical settings when there are strict rules and monitoring.

Conclusion

Psilocybin therapy may help people with serious mental health and addiction problems. California should legalize it carefully in medical settings first, using trained professionals, screening, preparation, and followup care. This would give people more treatment options while reducing unsafe use.
