People struggling with mental health issues could soon see another treatment option in Illinois.
A new bill would legalize “magic mushrooms,” for adult supervised use. Under the proposal, people would only be able to use the psychedelic drugs at a licensed service center. The FDA has considered the mushrooms a “breakthrough therapy” to help people with PTSD and depression who are resistant to other treatments.
Advocates, like Jean Lacy say if this becomes law it could be a big help. Lacy is the founder and Executive Director of the Illinois Psychedelic Society.
“People are really, at large they’re pretty desperate for new tools to help us with our mental health,” Lacy said. “I think collectively we’re all under a lot of stress, and that you know, I think there are serious consequences to continue to withhold these medicines form the people who need them.”
The bill’s sponsor says they’ve been working with law enforcement organizations on this proposal. She says the Illinois Sheriff’s Association is hesitant about the bill. If it becomes law, Illinois would be the third state to legalize magic mushrooms.
The proposal would not let people sell or have the drug the recreational use.

Yesterday I stumbled across this little curiosity from the Swamp Room label from 2006. This recording can be seen as a kind of counterpart to The Desert Sessions, featuring a relatively wild mix of more or lesser known musicians from the German scene, including Philipp Rasthofer and Stefan Koglek from Colour Haze, and two members of the Mandra Gora Lightshow Society. The record can be divided into three main parts, starting with Amon Duul-like meanderings, then there are quite cool lengthy tracks (30min + 20min) strongly reminiscent of Colour Haze, but also shorter surf-like garage rock with twang guitar, matching the musicians of the Swamp Room family. For those who remember, the annual festivals were a similar mix back then. The album was available as a free download with a card board sleeve provided by the label. You can listen to the whole record here. It wouldn't hurt to put it on Bandcamp if you ask me ;)
