'This is what happens when a small team of dedicated and passionate people unite under a single idea to create change,' said Kevin Matthews, the director of the Decriminalize Denver.
Denver has become the first U.S. city to decriminalize magic mushrooms, leading one anti-drug campaigner to dub it the “illicit drug capital of the world.”
The initiative document states that the possession of psychoactive psilocybin mushrooms for those aged 21 and over will become the city’s “lowest law-enforcement priority.” Usually sold raw or dried, users either eat the psilocybin mushroom plant or drink it in tea or a concentrated liquid. Effects include hallucinations and feelings of euphoria, but the substance can also heighten a person's emotional state, causing paranoia, anxiety and unpleasant trips.
Beth McCann, Denver District Attorney, was against the initiative but said she supported the formation of a review panel to look at the effects of the drug and how it would impact the city, her spokeswoman Carolyn Tyler told Reuters.
