This past July the first state-wide psychedelics legalization measure was included as part of a Colorado ballot after gathering more than 200,000 signatures for the proposal. While Initiative 58 will be discussed in this November’s poll, advocates of the alternative psychedelics project recently admitted that the measure will most likely not qualify for it.
Initiative 61 advocated for the removal of criminal penalties for possession, cultivation, gifting and delivery of a list of psychedelics by adults 21 and older, while legalizing psychedelics services for guidance, therapy, harm reduction and spiritual purposes with or without payment. It coincides with Initiative 58 in that it would have made the substances’ sale unlawful.
