DENVER — Colorado is poised to become the second U.S. state to legalize medicinal psychedelics.
Proposition 122, Access to Natural Psychedelic Substances, was supported by about 51% of the vote as of 5:07 p.m. with 1,928,974 votes counted, according to the Secretary of State’s Office. More than 2.4 million ballots were turned in as of Tuesday night, the agency said.
Natural Medicine Colorado, the campaign behind the measure, declared victory at 5:20 p.m. Luke Niforatos, CEO of Protect Colorado’s Kids, the opposition group fighting the measure, confirmed to The Denver Post he had conceded. The Associated Press has not yet called the race.
