On election day, november 8th, 2022, Colorado voters passed a ballot initiative legalizing psychedelic mushrooms in Colorado. Colorado proposition 122 decriminalized the possession and use of psychedelic mushrooms and certain plant-based psychedelic substances in Colorado law for individuals aged 21 and over. It also allows people who have been convicted of offenses involving these substances to have their criminal records sealed. So they won’t be discoverable in an employer or landlord background check.A DWAI is considered a lesser offense than a DUID in Colorado. But it has a much lower standard of proof: You can be convicted of a DWAI if the prosecutor can show that you were impaired even in the slightest degree.
And if you’re busted operating a vehicle with psilocybin in your system as shown by a blood test, this won’t be difficult.
Colorado is now one of only two states to have legalized the recreational use of psychedelic mushrooms – the other being Oregon, which first legalized it in 2020. Denver and the District of Columbia also have partially decriminalized psychedelic mushrooms, directing law enforcement to treat these offenses as low-priority offenses.
Beginning on January 1st, 2023, you can use these substances in licensed “therapeutic” centers within Oregon. Home use, however, is still illegal. And, of course, you can’t use it in your car!
Psilocybin is also still illegal under federal law, as well. It’s categorized as a Schedule I substance, along with heroin and angel dust. So don’t cross state lines with it.
Voters also recently approved recreational marijuana in Maryland and Missouri, bringing the number of states to have legalized marijuana use at the state level to 21.
