ST. LOUIS – One bill making rounds in the Missouri Senate would legalize a psychedelic drug for veterans and adults who are at least 21 years old.

Missouri State Sen. Holly Thompson Rehder (R-Cape Girardeau) introduced SB 768 earlier this year in an effort to legalize psilocybin, a drug known to some as magic mushrooms.
