Colorado voters have passed a ballot initiative to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms and to create state-regulated “healing centers.” Colorado becomes the second state to vote to establish a regulated system for substances like psilocybin and psilocin.
The results mean that 21 states have approved marijuana’s recreational use.
Under the measure, the psychedelics that would be decriminalized are listed as schedule 1 controlled substances under state and federal law and are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use with a high potential for abuse. Even so, the FDA has designated psilocybin a “breakthrough therapy” to treat major depressive disorder. The designation can expedite research, development and review of a drug if it might offer substantial improvements over existing treatments.Colorado’s ballot initiative would allow those 21 and older to grow, possess and share the psychedelic substances but not sell them for personal use.
In 2020, Oregon became the first state in the nation to legalize the therapeutic, supervised use of psilocybin after 56% of voters approved Ballot Measure 109. But unlike the Colorado measure, Oregon allows counties to opt out of the program if their constituents vote to do so.Washington, D.C., and Denver
