An Act relative to removing criminal penalties for limited psilocybin possession

This bill decriminalizes possession of up to one gram of psilocybin (magic mushroom compounds) by replacing criminal penalties with a $100 civil fine and forfeiture of the substance. It directly affects individuals possessing small amounts, while exempting veterans, first responders, people with certain health conditions (like mental health disorders or terminal illnesses), indigenous users, and those in clinical research. The bill creates a "Psilocybin Fines Trust Fund" to distribute collected penalties to community harm reduction programs, including education, crisis support, and services for groups disproportionately impacted by drug policies. It also prohibits using possession as a basis for denying student aid, housing, licenses, or custody rights, and ensures civil penalty records do not appear in criminal records.
