Congress To Vote On Marijuana, Psychedelics And CBD Amendments This Week Following Committee Action – Marijuana Moment
Massachusetts lawmakers on Tuesday heard testimony about a bill to create a task force charged with studying the implications of legalizing psychedelics like psilocybin and ayahuasca.
