California Sen. Scott Wiener (D) Tells Marijuana Moment His Psychedelics Bill Has 50% Chance Of Getting To Governor’s Desk

They report

Wiener talked to Marijuana Moment about his 2022 drug policy agenda in a phone interview last week.

He said that in the months since he decided to temporarily pump the breaks on his psychedelics bill—which would remove criminal penalties for possessing substances like psilocybin, DMT, MDMA and LSA for adults 21 and older—”the focus has been our coalition, our veterans who have been advocating and organizing around the bill.”

“They’re meeting with Assembly members to build more support,” he said. “That’s really what’s happening.”

California is known as a state that’s amenable to progressive drug policy reforms—having been the first to allow medical cannabis back in 1996—and Wiener says the chances that the psychedelics measure advances through the legislature are “probably 50/50” at this point.
