The group behind Colorado Proposition 122, a measure that decriminalizes psychedelic mushrooms, is celebrating as the proposition heads toward victory
In a statement Wednesday evening, Karen Crummy with Natural Medicine Colorado said, “Colorado voters approved Proposition 122, the Natural Medicine Health Act, which will create a framework for regulated, therapeutic use of natural psychedelic medicines for adults over 21 while continuing to prohibit their retail sales.”
As of 6 p.m. Wednesday, 51.29% of voters approved of the measure, while 48.71% of Colorado voters rejected Proposition 122.“I want to thank everyone across our state who helped this grassroots campaign get the word out. Unfortunately, we could not compete with the checkbooks of billionaire entrepreneurs,” Niforatos said.
The ballot initiative decriminalizes psychedelic mushrooms for those 21 and older and creates state-regulated “healing centers” where participants can experience the drug under the supervision of a licensed “facilitator.” It also allows private personal use of the drugs. The measure establishes a regulated system for using substances like psilocybin and psilocin, the hallucinogenic chemicals found in some mushrooms.With the passing of Proposition 122, Colorado has become the second state, after Oregon, to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms.
