Colorado Voters Approve Psychedelics Legalization Ballot Initiative

Colorado voters approved an initiative on the ballot to legalize possession of certain psychedelics and create psilocybin “healing centers” on Tuesday.



Possession, use, cultivation and sharing of psilocybin, ibogaine, mescaline (not derived from peyote), DMT and psilocyn will be legalized for adults 21 and older, without an explicit possession limit. There will be no recreational sales component.


The Department of Regulatory Agencies will be responsible for developing rules for a therapeutic psychedelics program where adults 21 and older can visit a licensed healing center to receive treatment under the guidance of a trained facilitator.


There will be a two-tiered regulatory model, where only psilocybin and psilocyn will be permitted for therapeutic use at licensed healing centers until June 2026. After that point, regulators can decide whether to also permit regulated therapeutic use of DMT, ibogaine and mescaline.


A new 15-member Natural Medicine Advisory Board will be responsible for making recommendations on adding substances to the program, and the Department of Regulatory Agencies could then authorize those recommended additions.


The advisory board’s membership will specifically include people who have experience with psychedelic medicine in a scientific and religious context.

People who have completed their sentence for a conviction related to an offense made legal under the act will be able to petition the courts for record sealing. If there’s no objection from the district attorney, the court will need to automatically clear that record.

You're Welcome,

Even my mother voted for Shrooms,

Nice. I have a brother outside of co springs. He gets to see all kinds of stuff. Im glad he gets to see this. Nothing like having the weight of fear and anxiety lifted from you.
Several people will have positive life altering experiences. A lot will just trip and have a drug experience. But even they will be people who are less likely to behave violently and to think about others life experiences with empathy. This could be the turning point we need. I hope so. Let your light shine, it's getting dark out there.

This should be a sticky. As if we aren't High enough here in CO,

We don't need no silly vote here in Portland.

"The Oregon Health Authority doesn't have any licensed psilocybin dispensaries at this time, and OHA says it does not deal with enforcement or regulation -- that's up to police."

"Portland police say they are aware the store is open and selling mushrooms but won't give details on the activity of the bureau's Narcotics and Organized Crime unit."
