A task force created by a bipartisan group of lawmakers last session will spend the next five months digging into research about whether psychedelic drugs, long prohibited by the federal government, might have the ability to reset some of the most intractable mental health conditions — addiction, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and bipolar disorders.

Their recommendations to the Legislature could put Minnesota on the front lines of policymaking around psychedelic medicine.

"Minnesota has always been in the middle of the pack on these types of topics," said Kurtis Hanna, a longtime conservative drug reform lobbyist and a public policy and government relations specialist with Blunt Strategies. "If we see in this next legislative session some sort of drastic reform when it comes to access to psychedelics, it's going to make the entire nation start to have a discussion of, 'Whoa, this is not just something the regular players are tackling.'"
