Fighting Drugs with Drugs: Medical Mushrooms in Utah's War on Opioids
Utah law review January 1, 2025 Paul Helms
The text discusses Utah legislation S.B. 200 and its successor S.B. 266, which could improve psilocybin's legal status and accessibility for opioid recovery. Although S.B. 200 failed, S.B. 266 may positively impact mental illness, addiction, and transiency in Utah. The author argues that evidence of psilocybin's effectiveness against opioid addiction, gathered under S.B. 266's reporting requirements, could secure bipartisan support and help Utah combat its opioid crisis.
