- We will now call the meeting of the Senate Drug Policy Committee to order.
Summary:
The Senate Drug Policy Committee met to consider two bills. For House Bill 417, which updates the Uniform Controlled Substances Act by adding substances to Schedule I, committee counsel explained that a strike-all was needed because the House version relied on outdated correspondence. Anna Catherine Lambert of the Mississippi State Department of Health said the department updates the language each year by matching Mississippi law to the DEA’s Federal Register, including salts, isomers, and related forms of newly scheduled substances. She noted the additions largely fall into three broad categories, including fentanyl derivatives, phenidates, and tazenes. Senators asked about the number of compounds and the need to list each derivative form. The committee moved to adopt the strike-all and then the title sufficient do pass strike-all, and the bill was reported.
The committee then took up House Bill 563, which would allow Mississippi law to conform automatically if psilocybin is scheduled by the federal government before the next legislative session. The chair described psilocybin as a mushroom-derived compound being studied in clinical trials for treatment-resistant depression, and noted that an email from Veterans Exploring Treatment Options supported the legislation. Members discussed that the bill would prevent delay if federal scheduling occurs and asked about the conditions for which the substance might be used; the response mentioned treatment-resistant depression, traumatic brain injury, substance use disorder, and other mental health indications. Senator Blackmon made a lighthearted comment about possible amendments, but no amendments were adopted. The committee approved the motion for title sufficient to pass, and House Bill 563 was reported.
