Massachusetts H4200 authorizes a pilot program for the use of psychedelics in licensed mental health treatment facilities.

Massachusetts H4200 establishes a pilot program for the use of psychedelics in licensed mental health treatment facilities. The Department of Public Health will oversee the program, issuing permits to up to three facilities. These facilities must focus exclusively on mental health and cannot be affiliated with the cannabis industry. The pilot aims to establish best clinical practices and collect patient outcomes data for conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and substance use disorder.
