US EditionProposed Arizona Bill Supports Psychedelic Mushroom Research
- Arizona lawmakers introduced bipartisan House Bill 2486 in 2025 to allocate $30 million for research on psilocybin mushrooms’ effects on PTSD and other health issues.

- If enacted, the legislation could position Arizona at the forefront of global psilocybin clinical trials, potentially expanding treatment access for trauma survivors where current options fall short.
