New Medical Mushroom Program

7.11.25 New Mexico is now the third state to legalize the use of psychedelic mushrooms for medical treatment. The Medical Psilocybin Act went into effect last month, giving state officials a 2027 deadline to establish the use of mushrooms as a medical practice. Reporter Cailley Chella spoke with medical experts and advocates who explain how psychedelics can help patients with severe depression and PTSD.
