psilocybin mushrooms

Thousands are in Denver this week to learn about the future of psychedelics like magic mushrooms and MDMA, and to talk business.

A group of former pro athletes traveled to Jamaica to try psychedelics as a way to help cope with the aftereffects of concussions and a career of body-pounding injuries. Will this still largely untested treatment work?

Hundreds of people have invested thousands of dollars apiece in this budding industry, and some worry that the rollout is proceeding too slowly.

Research into psychedelic drugs was halted in the 1960s amid concern about recreational use. Now, the VA is among dozens of medical providers resuming that work.

The ballot measure decriminalizes psychedelic mushrooms for those 21 and older and creates state-regulated “healing centers” where participants can experience the drug under the supervision of a licensed “facilitator.”

The action doesn't legalize psilocybin mushrooms, but it effectively bars the city from prosecuting or arresting adults 21 or older who possess them.
