THE MAGIC MUSHROOMS REVOLUTION

It only took one grassroots group of volunteers to kick off the second psychedelic revolution by winning a paper-thin 50.5% victory on Initiative 301, decriminalizing “magic mushrooms” in Denver. Now nearly 100 cities are considering similar proposals, laws, and propositions, and the FDA has declared breakthrough status for the medicinal properties of psilocybin in treating depression, PTSD, seizures, and even Alzheimer’s and dementia. These are the most resistant conditions to traditional pharmaceutical pathways, but psilocybin and other plant medicines are providing a way forward.
