Texas is on the doorstep of making plant medicine history, passing SB2308/HB3717 the Texas House with a resounding vote of 138-2.

The next step in this journey is for the Senate to concur with the amendment. Once this happens, the bill will proceed to Governor Abbott’s desk for review and signature.

The Senate has had their first reading on May 15 and chose not to concur, but instead appointed a committee to review the bill and insert some proposed amendments to the bills language before voting.

It is expected that this will be finished before the end of May and the bill will be passed with some minor amendments for Governor Abbotts final signature.

If this happens, the bill will create the United States first large Medical Center devoted completely to one psychedelic specifically devoted to curing addiction.
