State Sen. Brian Jones of Santee launches the latest bill to use currently outlawed drugs to help treat veterans and first responders for PTSD
Legislation to allow the therapeutic use of psychedelics in California keeps getting narrower — and seemingly closer to becoming law. After bills on the proposal have gone up and down and been reshaped, there appears to be consensus support in the Legislature. The biggest hurdle right now may be budgetary. California needs to close a gaping deficit and all legislation that costs money is getting extra scrutiny — and sometimes being blocked.
” An analysis for the appropriations committee said SB 1012 would create three new state boards and result in 'unknown significant ongoing costs, likely ranging in the low millions of dollars' to fund them, while establishing unspecified licensing fees. Despite the unknowns, that may not seem substantial in a budget of nearly $300 billion, but the state is facing a two-year deficit of $45 billion.
