The VISIONS Act of 2023 would prohibit the federal government from using any federal funds to prevent states and local governments from implementing their own laws regarding psilocybin, a psychoactive substance found in certain mushrooms. The bill would apply to any state or local laws that authorize the use, distribution, sale, possession, research, or cultivation of psilocybin. This legislation affects all fifty states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories, as well as local governments including counties, municipalities, and towns. The bill contains no specific funding amounts or implementation timelines, but rather restricts how existing federal funds can be spent. The measure essentially allows states and localities to establish their own psilocybin policies without federal government interference or use of federal resources to block those policies.
