A Texas Senate committee on Wednesday unanimously approved a House-passed bill that would require the state to conduct a study into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics<\/a> like psilocybin and MDMA.<\/p>\n The move on the psychedelics proposal comes as several marijuana-related measures are also making their way through the legislature this session.<\/p>\n On Tuesday, another Senate panel approved a House bill that would significantly lower penalties for cannabis concentrates<\/a>. An additional Senate committee also advanced hemp legislation this week, but not before adding language that would severely restrict delta-8-THC products.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, advocates are stepping up their push in the Senate for separate House-passed bills to expand the state\u2019s medical cannabis program and broadly decriminalize marijuana possession.<\/p>\n The psychedelics bill would require the state to study the medical risks and benefits of psilocybin, MDMA and ketamine for military veterans in partnership with Baylor College of Medicine and a military-focused medical center. It was also amended to mandate a clinical trial into psilocybin for veterans with PTSD, in addition to a broader review of the scientific literature on all three substances.<\/p>\n \u2014 The legislation<\/a> was approved on Wednesday by the Senate Veteran Affairs & Border Security Committee in a 5-0 vote. It cleared the House by a vote of 134-12 earlier this month.<\/p>\n It now heads to the Senate floor for a final vote on sending it to the desk of Gov. Greg Abbott (R).<\/p>\n Former Gov. Rick Perry (R), who also served as U.S. energy secretary, has\u00a0called on lawmakers to approve the psychedelics legislation<\/a>.<\/p>\n South Carolina Medical Marijuana Bill Will Be Senate\u2019s First Vote In 2022, Leader Promises<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n Photo courtesy of Dick Culbert<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Texas Senate Advances Bill To Study Healing Potential Of Psychedelics Like Psilocybin and MDMA<\/a> appeared first on Marijuana Moment<\/a>.<\/p>\n
