Psychedelics group wants to protect Portland… users of… plant- or mushroom-based psychedelics… from cops
Portland advocates for psychedelic drug use are hoping to put an initiative on the city’s 2026 ballot that would protect people who use what they call non-toxic and non-addictive plant- or mushroom-based psychedelic drugs from arrest.
Under the proposed initiative, non-toxic and non-addictive psychedelics would be designated police officers’ “lowest priority for enforcement,” according to the initiative draft. Portland would be required to “expend no funds, equipment, personnel or other resources to investigate, detect, apprehend, arrest or prosecute” anyone for having, growing, gathering, gifting or using plant- or mushroom-based psychedelics. The drugs covered by the initiative would include hallucinogenic mushrooms, ayahuasca tea, and the plants from which the hallucinogenic compounds DMT and mescaline are extracted.
