Denver activists who successfully led a 2019 campaign to make the city the first in the U.S. to decriminalize psilocybin possession have their eyes set on broader reform, with plans in the works to end the criminalization of noncommercial gifting and communal use of the psychedelic.
Kevin Matthews, who spearheaded the 2019 effort and now serves as the founder of Vote Nature, recently shared some details about the forthcoming push to get the City Council to expand decriminalization under a measure tentatively called the 2021 Denver Community Psilocybin Initiative.”
In a GoFundMe post seeking contributions to sustain his work on the local reform push, Matthews, who is also president of the city’s official Psilocybin Mushroom Policy Review Panel, said the purpose of the proposal will be to ensure that people “have the liberty to gather in private group settings to celebrate and commune with psilocybin mushrooms without worrying about law enforcement intervention.”
