, Access to Natural Psychedelic Substances, was supported by about 51% of the vote as of 8:49 a.m. with 1,817,306 votes counted, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.
According to Colorado law, a recount is triggered when a margin of victory in an election is less than or equal to 0.5% of the winner’s vote. The recount requirement applies to issue races as well as candidate races. The measure seeks to legalize psilocybin and psilocin, two compounds found in “magic mushrooms,” for use in therapeutic settings and pave the way for the establishment of “healing centers” where adults 21 years old and up can use the substances under the supervision of licensed professionals.Additionally, Proposition 122 would decriminalize the personal growing, use and sharing of psilocybin and psilocin, as well as ibogaine, mescaline and dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, for adults.
The effort to legalize psilocybin and psilocin, both Schedule I controlled substances, comes just three years after
