Psychedelic Therapy Implemented in Colorado Amid Controversy

Colorado is set to introduce regulated psychedelic therapy, specifically focusing on psilocybin, starting January 1. This new psychiatric treatment option has sparked tension between conservatives and veterans advocating for increased access to psychedelic mushrooms. While some local governments, including Castle Rock and Greeley, are considering or have implemented strict regulations on businesses offering these therapies, veterans groups are pushing for better access to assist those in need. Various cities, such as Colorado Springs and Monument, are placing restrictions on psychedelic healing centers, creating a complex landscape for the emerging industry.
