The law allows medical professionals to use the hallucinogenic compound found in some mushrooms to treat mental health disorders.
Former Gov. Phil Murphy signed a new law in January legalizing the use of psilocybin, commonly known as magic mushrooms, as a medical treatment.
State Sen. Nicholas Scutari (NJ-22), the president of the New Jersey Senate, sponsored the now-law in the Legislature.
He described it to News 12 as a "psilocybin behavioral health assessment and therapy pilot program...to study the efficacy of the psilocybin product."
The law permits designated medical professionals in New Jersey to use the hallucinogenic compound found in some mushrooms as a treatment for mental health conditions.
