After a long and controversial campaign the people of Colorado have spoken.
Centennial country has voted to legalize and decriminalize various narcotic drugs Via Proposition 122, also known as the Natural Medicine Health Act.
Supporters declared victory on Wednesday evening. With 88% of the votes counted, this procedure was done Take a small win51.4% supported it and 48.6% opposed it.
Proposition 122 includes several components that state officials will implement over the next several years: decriminalization of narcotic drugs, legalization of psilocybin (magic mushrooms), and potential legalization of other narcotic drugs, including IbogaineAnd the Dimethyltryptamine (DMT)And the mescaline (not derived from houses).
Here’s what happens next.
When will Colorado decriminalize drug possession?
Decriminalization will take effect with the confirmation of the November vote. Suit 122 decriminalizes possession of the following plant-derived substances: psilocybin, ibogaine, dimethyltryptamine (DMT), and mescaline (not derived from butyrate). A major proponent of the measure told Leafly that legal “treatment centers” for psilocybin are likely to start in early 2025.
When can I legally buy psilocybin and other drugs?
Prop 122 allows the giving of hallucinogens to begin to be approved by the vote.
It will take some time before adults can purchase psilocybin (and its associated treatment regimen) at a state-approved treatment center.
First, the state must establish a 15-member Natural Medicine Advisory Board, which in turn will formulate the rules for the program. A prominent proponent of the measure told Leafly that psilocybin treatment centers will likely open as early as 2025. The Natural Medicines Advisory Board could decide to expand the law to provide a similarly regulated market for ibogaine, dimethyltryptamine (DMT) and mescaline (not derived from peyote), But not before June 1, 2026.
Can I grow mushrooms at home?
Yes. The decriminalization of personal cultivation of insect material will be decriminalized once state officials witness the November vote.
Will there be drug treatment centers?
yes. Prop 122 allows licensed treatment centers to open throughout the state. Adults can take psilocybin in a treatment center beginning as of 2025. State officials can begin the process of legalizing treatment centers for ibogaine, DMT, and mescaline on or after June 1, 2026.
Will psilocybin be taxed?
The procedure does not include specific language about taxes.
Is there a wholesale write-off process?
The Natural Medicine Health Act calls on individuals who have completed their sentences for offenses made legal under the law to be able to petition to have their record closed. In Colorado, write-offs are usually applied only to event records.
Can my city ban treatment centers?
No, but sites can allocate treatment centers to specific areas, and set limits on their opening hours, as long as they are not inherently “unreasonable.”
