The proposal would also decriminalize activities facilitating the use of natural psychedelics… “The precedent on the grassroots level right now is to fully decriminalize first. If you do both [decrim and legalizing medical access] at the same time, you are prioritizing legalization.”
Organizers said that establishing decriminalization first would preserve access to psychedelic drugs for individuals and protect indigenous and legacy practitioners from the regulations inherent to commercial legalization. “Without decriminalization and the security it allows for affected communities to more effectively organize, regulatory models will make it difficult for the most disadvantaged groups of our population to continue to access the natural medicines they safely use to heal,” Nicole Foerster said, [with Melanie Rose Rodgers]
