Prop 122 was under 200 words, leaving the creation of Colorado's new psychedelic framework to the state Department of Regulatory Agencies, which is currently overseeing a Natural Medicine Advisory Board, and any laws passed by the legislature. While licensed therapy centers could open by late 2024, Prop 122 did not allow for the establishment of retail psychedelic operations, only healing centers, so there won't be mushroom stores popping up like the hundreds of cannabis dispensaries currently in Colorado.īut the ballot measure didn't include limits on the personal cultivation of mushrooms or criminal penalties for illegal trafficking, either, and was short on clinical and therapeutic psychedelic regulations. Proposition 122 legalized therapeutic psilocybin and decriminalized the personal cultivation, use and sharing of psilocybin mushrooms as well as DMT, ibogaine and mescaline (not from peyote) for people 21 and older, with the last three up for review for potential medical legalization in 2026. Introduced less than two weeks ago by Senate President Stephen Fenberg, Senate Bill 23-290 would implement and regulate the landmark psychedelics ballot initiative passed by Colorado voters last November.
