Assembly panel approves magic mushrooms bill

The New Jersey State Assembly Judiciary Committee today approved legislation to downgrade procession of psilocybin mushrooms, known as “magic mushrooms,” to a disorderly persons offense.

It was approved along party lines by a 4-1 vote, with one Republican abstaining.

The reclassification of the mushrooms was part of a deal agreed to on Friday by Gov. Phil Murphy and legislative leaders who signed off on the bill moving concurrently with decriminalization.

Assemblyman James Kennedy (D-Rahway) is the sponsor of the psilocybin mushrooms legislation.
