LegalCurrent psilocybin laws and regulations in Colorado
Current Legal Status
Colorado became the second U.S. state to legalize psilocybin when voters passed Proposition 122 (Natural Medicine Health Act) in November 2022. The law decriminalizes personal use and possession of psilocybin, DMT, ibogaine, and mescaline (excluding peyote) for adults 21 and older. It also establishes a regulated system for licensed healing centers to provide psilocybin services, with the first centers expected to open in 2024-2025. Denver had previously decriminalized psilocybin in 2019.
