Are Magic Mushrooms Legal in Colorado?

In a progressive stride that echoes a broader global shift, Colorado has emerged as the second state to decriminalize magic mushrooms and other psychedelics for adults, following the recent midterm elections. This historical move heralds an exciting, yet cautiously optimistic era in the embrace of natural therapeutic alternatives.


Proposition 122, affirmed by a significant majority of voters with 92 percent of the vote counted, paves the way for the decriminalization of psilocybin and psilocin - the active constituents of psychedelic mushrooms - as well as DMT and mescaline. These substances, traditionally associated with tribal ceremonies and spiritual rituals, are now stepping into the limelight as potential therapeutic aids.


The Natural Medicine Health Act further stipulates that adults aged 21 and above in Colorado will have the privilege to experience the potential healing properties of shrooms, albeit under strict supervision at licensed psilocybin healing centers. However, retail stores will not carry shrooms for sale, maintaining a controlled environment for their use. The state may also explore the supervised administration of other decriminalized psychedelics.


Advocates Kevin Matthews and Veronica Lightening Horse Perez expressed their elation to the Denver Post, emphasizing the potential benefits of regulated access to natural medicines. "Coloradans with PTSD, terminal illness, depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues now have an additional pathway to healing," they commented.


The precedent for this move was set by Oregon in 2020, which was the first state to decriminalize personal possession of all drugs and legalize shrooms for therapeutic use in licensed facilities. Oregon's approach requires individuals to attend multiple appointments and take shrooms under supervision. However, not all communities in Oregon embraced these centers, with several opting out of hosting them.


Colorado's decision reflects a burgeoning psychedelic renaissance sweeping across various American cities. Oakland, San Francisco, Denver, Ann Arbor, and Seattle have also effectively decriminalized shrooms and other psychoactive plants. Concurrently, unconventional therapies such as ketamine-assisted treatment and psychedelic retreats, along with churches offering shrooms, have gained mainstream traction.


The midterm elections also brought a green wave in Maryland and Missouri, which legalized recreational weed. Despite some states resisting this trend, the number of states with legalized adult-use weed now stands at 21.


In conclusion, Colorado's decision is a testament to the evolving attitudes towards psychoactive substances and their potential role in promoting mental health and wellbeing. However, it's crucial to remember the importance of regulated, supervised use of these substances, as we continue to explore this brave new world of natural, therapeutic alternatives.
