AN ACT DECRIMINALIZING THE POSSESSION OF PSILOCYBIN.

HB 6380, introduced by Rep. Elliott, would amend Title 21a of the general statutes to decriminalize the possession of psilocybin. This bill specifically removes criminal penalties for individuals found with psilocybin, changing it from a criminal offense to a civil violation (like a traffic ticket). It directly affects people who possess psilocybin, shifting enforcement from criminal prosecution to potential fines or other non-criminal consequences. The bill focuses solely on possession and does not address cultivation, sale, or other uses of psilocybin. The stated purpose is explicitly to decriminalize possession, making it a procedural legislative change.
