Senate Bill 803 would allow therapeutically facilitated use of certain psychedelics for military veterans and first responders in just three counties: San Diego, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz.
The bill aims at aiding veterans and first responders in their recovery, with facilitators needing to be licensed medical professionals in specified fields, and the program would sunset after three years.
SB 803 represents an innovative effort to help treat work-induced post-traumatic stress disorder by offering targeted medical treatment specifically for this group, as clarified by Senator Brian Jones.
The bill has the support of Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, known for his previous attempts to decriminalize psychedelics, and it is structured for a limited scope rather than widespread legalization.
