A bill under consideration by the state legislature would make Illinois the third state in the country to decriminalize psilocybin, the hallucinogenic component of mushrooms, and establish the Illinois Psilocybin Advisory Board to structure a psychedelic therapy program.

“We know that the science is there,” said Dr. Rachel Norris, the founder of Imagine Healthcare.

“It's frustrating for me as a provider, not to be able to provide something that I know, based on scientific research and tons of anecdotal evidence too, from people that have been using it on their own for years, that this works,” Dr. Norris said.“Psychedelics came into my life at a time when I was feeling pretty hopeless and pretty alone,” Sethi said.
