Maryland task force empfiehlt Strafverzicht und Legalisierung von Psychedelika, darunter Psilocybin, DMT und Mescalin, für Gesetzgeber

Maryland’s Task Force on Responsible Use of Natural Psychedelic Substances recommends decriminalizing select psychedelics and moving toward legalization. The task force, created by Maryland’s General Assembly in 2024, urges lawmakers to legalize or deprioritize psilocybin (mushrooms), DMT, and mescaline, citing a need for policy reform that balances public health and civil freedoms. The proposal, led by Andy Coop of the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy, recommends an “ensemble approach” focused on legal status changes, deprioritizing enforcement, and building a safe, licensed distribution system for these substances.
