January 2026 Psychedelic Bill Round-up

Psychedelics legislation in the US ramps up at the start of 2026, with dozens of new bills and renewed efforts from the prior year across multiple state legislatures. Ibogaine research programs and multi-state consortia efforts get particular attention, including an ibogaine research bill that quickly advances through the Mississippi House by an almost unanimous vote. Separately, psilocybin rescheduling trigger law proposals resurface in multiple states. A key January policy milestone is New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy signing SB 2283 into law, creating a two-year psilocybin pilot across three hospitals with $6 million in funding, and first introduced in January 2024. At the federal level, a new bill called the Expanding Veterans’ Access to Emerging Treatments Act is also introduced.
