Uruguay’s National Party has filed a bill to legalize psychedelics. Led by Sen. Juan Sartori, the proposal seeks to provide access to these substances which have been proven to be an effective treatment for numerous mental health conditions.
Sartori’s bill would make access to psychoactive plants legal if prescribed by a physician. The senator also seeks to decriminalize the use, distribution and commercialization of psychedelics for scientific or medical-therapeutic uses, reported El Pais Uruguay.
If approved, psychedelics could be consumed under a psychiatrist’s supervision to guarantee safe use.
“The unregulated use and the commercial sale of substances that without a medical follow-up may imply health risks will be avoided,” Sartori said.
The natural entheogenic substances the new bill would legalize include psilocybin, methylenedioxymethamphetamine, ibogaine, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), mescaline, and psilocin. Activities such as cultivation, distribution, possession and use, not sale, would be part of the new legal framework.
