BOSTON, Mass. (WWLP)--After a ballot question looking to legalize some psychedelics for mental health treatment failed in November, a few grassroots activists took over the push for access to these treatments in Massachusetts. Graham Moore and Jamie Morey both have personal experience with the healing effects of psilocybin--a compound found in some mushrooms--and took the reins on the Yes on 4 campaign after the question failed.   Psychedelic therapy begins in Colorado, causing tension between conservatives and veterans "I was just determined to not let the defeat of this ballot question sort of be the end of this conversation. The ballot question was supported by a PAC with deep pockets, and we don't have that know, but we're not going to give up," said Morey. They say the question failed not because of lack of support, but because of nuances in how it was written or objections to small parts of the overall plan. Now, they're taking a different approach. Since December, they have been doing this work on a volunteer basis, and are the driving factors behind 10 bills filed in the new session working to expand access to psychedelics as mental health treatment. "What I really care about is for people like me personally, who do use psilocybin therapeutically, that we no longer be criminalized for what I think is a personal healthcare choice," said Moore. The next steps in this grassroots movement include gathering volunteer feedback, and encouraging stakeholders to get involved before a new non-profit takes over the campaign's work at the end of the month. The activists told 22News that they were pleasantly surprised to see so much support from the legislature and they are optimistic that at least one of the bills will pass this session.
