Assembly lawmakers in New Jersey advance bill to legalize psilocybin, also known as 'magic mushrooms'

Magic mushrooms could become legal in New Jersey if some lawmakers get their way.

The Assembly's democratic-led health committee advanced a bill to legalize the drug.

It's called psilocybin, and adults over 21 would have access to the drug for mental health treatment.

Several cities have legalized the psychedelic.

And a drugmaker is seeking FDA approval of a synthetic version, expected late next year or early 2027.
