Regulation & Legalization –
TL;DR
For those visiting Denver or Colorado… No you can’t currently buy mushrooms and/or DMT in stores here, however you can be gifted items if you know people willing to share.
Proposition 122 [1] what you need to know –
First, the difference between “Decriminalized” and “Legalized”.
Decriminalization removes criminal penalties for possession and/or use, but doesn’t make the substance legal.
Legalization makes the substance legal and allows for its regulation and sale.
Proposition 122 amends Colorado statutes to: decriminalize the personal possession, growing, sharing, and use, but not the sale, of five natural psychedelic substances by individuals aged 21 and over, including two substances found in psychedelic mushrooms — psilocybin and psilocin — and three plant-based psychedelic substances — dimethyltryptamine, ibogaine, and mescaline;
It is worth noting that the law specifically excludes synthetics, E.g 5-meoDMT.[2]
““Natural medicine” does not mean a synthetic or synthetic analog of the substances listed in subsections (12)(a) and (12)(b) of this section, including a derivative of a naturally occurring compound of natural medicine that is produced using chemical synthesis, chemical modification, or chemical conversion.”

Harm Reduction –
Medications
STOP!
Do you take anti-depressants or SSRIs?
DO NOT TAKE MUSHROOMS WHILE TAKING THEM!
It is more than just not being able to trip, it could potentially lead to a serious condition known as serotonin syndrome.
If you’re taking medication, consult your doctor or therapist before considering trying mushrooms
Set and Setting
While psilocybin mushrooms can be a fascinating and potentially transformative experience, responsible use is key.
Remember to set your “set and setting” for a safe and comfortable trip – this means having a calm mindset and a secure environment.
