An initiative that would have removed criminal penalties for the possession of psilocybin and other hallucinogens in Colorado failed to gather enough signatures to appear before voters in November, the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office said Tuesday.
DENVER –
Proponents of the measure – one of two that Decriminalize Colorado was hoping to get on the November ballot – were only able to submit 5,001 signatures by the Aug. 8 deadline – nearly 120,000 short of the required valid signatures to make it to the general election ballot. Initiative 58 would create a state-regulated access model to make it legal for people to receive natural medicine services at licensed healing centers and approved health care locations, like palliative care. It would also remove criminal penalties for the use of these natural medicines, but people younger than 21 could still be charged with a petty drug offense.
