The next step is passage of the bill in the California State Assembly.

If you care about this issue and want this landmark bill[1] passed, contact your State Assembly representative: [2][3][4]

Also, consider joining and supporting Decriminalize Nature.[5]

First, let me state that MAPS is such an important organization for advancing these substances from research to results legislatively. Incredible work once again.

Second, if you want to contact your California assemblymembers office it pays to reach their staff. You can find that if you pay for http://www.GovBuddy.com and you can keep up to date with staff changes. I don’t know of any other way to find that.

Seems like they removed Ketamine from the version that was passed, contrary to what the MAPS article says

What is the source of truth? (I typically lean towards the legislature, but often times their websites are not updated most accurately for bills in progress)

The compromise to remove ketamine from the bill was struck after this MAPS press release was written.
