At Michigan’s first psychedelic church and psilocybin dispensary, mushrooms are the holy sacrament
Shaman Shu says ayahuasca told him to write Proposal E during his first experience…
“I wrote the actual legislation based upon what the ancestors told me to do,” he says. “I was sitting in Costa Rica and I was like, ‘What? You want me to do, what?’ I never expected that… I hired a lawyer, hired a lobbyist. I didn’t raise any capital. I did it all myself on these shoulders because I wanted the people to have liberation. Everybody can’t afford to go to Costa Rica. I want people to have access to it in urban areas.” Shu came back from the ayahuasca ceremony, determined to follow what his spirit guides told him, but he only had two weeks to collect enough signatures to get Proposal E on the ballot, which he did. He says the Detroit City Council didn’t believe that his signatures were legitimate and he had to threaten to sue the city before they allowed it. Detroiters voted to pass it by 61% percent… he plans to charge around $750, which is cheap compared to psychedelic healing centers in Colorado and Oregon that charge up to $4,000.
