Minneapolis ends enforcement of most psychedelic plant laws amid therapy potential
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey ordered police to stop enforcing most psychedelic plant laws, citing mental health benefits.
- The city still enforces laws against selling psychedelics, taking them to schools, or driving under the influence.
- Some research indicates psilocybin can help with depression, alcoholism and PTSD, but more studies are needed.
- The FDA designated psilocybin a "breakthrough therapy" for serious conditions in 2018.
- Oregon legalized psilocybin use this year and Colorado decriminalized it last year.
