Discussing Massachusetts Psychedelic Question 4: Tonight at 8pm Eastern
Join Psychedelic Week for a balanced discussion of Question 4, which could decriminalize psilocybin, ibogaine, mescaline, and DMT, and regulate their supervised use.
Register for free webinar.
Next week, Massachusetts will decide the fate of ballot Question 4. If voters approve it, the state will decriminalize sharing and home cultivation of several psychedelic plants and fungi. It will create a psychedelic agency like the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission and draft rules to govern the supervised use of psychedelics. Polling suggests that voters are split, and many remain undecided. All would benefit from a balanced discussion of this important voter ballot initiative.
Join Psychedelic Week this evening at 8pm Eastern for a 90-minute moderated discussion of Question 4. Register for free to receive the webinar link.
