This November, Massachusetts voters will have the opportunity to vote to decriminalize and create a therapeutic framework for certain psychedelics through a proposed ballot question which would establish the first therapeutic psychedelic program on the East Coast.

Voters in Colorado (2022) and Oregon (2020) have approved statewide programs to allow adults to use natural psychedelics under the supervision of trained and licensed facilitators.
