Get StartedA "yes" vote on Proposition 122 requires the state to establish a regulated system for accessing psychedelic mushrooms and, if approved by the regulating state agency, additional plant-based psychedelic substances and decriminalizes the possession and use of psychedelic mushrooms and certain plant-based psychedelic substances in Colorado law for individuals aged 21 and over.
A "no" vote on Proposition 122 means that the possession and use of psychedelic mushrooms and other plant-based psychedelic substances will remain illegal under state law.
"Proposition 122 is designed to create regulated access to natural psychedelic medicines for veterans struggling with PTSD, people facing a terminal illness, and adults dealing with depression, anxiety and other mental health challenges in a way that maximizes safety. Adults 21 and older will be able to access research-backed psychedelic medicines under the guidance of a licensed facilitator at designated and licensed healing centers, approved health-care facilities like palliative care, and in the comfort and safety of their own home." - YES on 122, in support of Proposition 122 (Learn more)
"Natural psychedelic medicines are non-addictive and can have profound benefits for people struggling with challenging mental health conditions including depression and anxiety and those struggling to find peace at the end of their lives. Johns Hopkins, UCLA, NYU and other leading research universities have studied psychedelic therapies, and the FDA has granted one natural medicine, psilocybin, "breakthrough treatment" status for its success with treatment resistant depression, meaning psilocybin has succeeded where other methods have failed." - Yes on 122, in support of Proposition 122 (Learn more)
"Colorado law enforcement, educators, parents and health professionals are dealing with the soaring opioid overdose crisis and a multitude of other crime problems. Meanwhile, out-of-state corporate profiteers want voters to legalize the hallucinogenic drugs psilocybin and psilocin." - The Gazette Editorial Board, in opposition to Proposition 122 (Learn more)
"It is time for us to face an alarming reality: Colorado's kids are abusing drugs at alarming rates. Increasing the accessibility and exposure of psychedelics to our kids is deplorable, and sets the stage for addiction, anxiety, and depressive behaviors. Let us be clear, legalizing psychedelics not only puts our kids at risk, but also overwhelms first responders, medical professionals, and law enforcement with increased criminal behavior as a result of increased public drug use." - Protect Colorado's Kids, in opposition to Proposition 122 (Learn more)
