Federal Funds Ban: States' Psilocybin Laws Protected.

This bill aims to prevent the federal government from using taxpayer money to interfere with state decisions regarding psilocybin. It means that if a state chooses to allow the use, sale, or research of psilocybin, the federal government cannot use funds to block it. This effectively gives states more freedom to shape their own regulations concerning this substance, potentially impacting its availability and rules depending on where you live.
Key points
States and local governments gain greater independence in creating their own psilocybin laws.
Federal funds cannot be used to prevent states from implementing their own laws regarding psilocybin (use, distribution, sale, possession, research, cultivation).
