Denver voters to decide on 'magic mushroom' decriminalization
1 / 6A vendor bags psilocybin mushrooms at a pop-up cannabis market in Los Angeles on Monday, May 6, 2019. Voters decide this week whether Denver will become the first U.S. city to decriminalize the use of psilocybin, the psychedelic substance in"magic mushrooms." DENVER — Voters on Tuesday could make Denver the first U.S.
Kevin Matthews, director of the Decriminalize Denver campaign, said psilocybin has helped him deal with depression for years. The federal government classifies psilocybin as a Schedule I drug, with no medical purpose and a high potential for abuse. A California effort to decriminalize psilocybin failed to qualify for the statewide ballot in 2018. Organizers in Oregon are trying to gather enough support to put an initiative to a statewide vote next year.
The election has largely been focused on a six-way race for mayor and a heated effort to end Denver's"urban camping" ban that affects people without housing and has pitted activists against well-financed business and development groups.
