This act is significant for making the cultivation, possession, and usage of natural medicines like psilocybin, DMT, ibogaine, and mescaline legal in the state. This passage also spurred the development of an eagerly anticipated psychedelic-assisted therapy industry, now ready to see its very first patients very soon. How this industry operates and succeeds will be a bellwether for future states to adopt similar programs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Does the Colorado Law Legalize Specifically?<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38725\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38725\" style=\"width: 807px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-38725\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/One_Civic_Center_Plaza_NE_corner-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"One Civic Center Plaza\" width=\"807\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/One_Civic_Center_Plaza_NE_corner-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/One_Civic_Center_Plaza_NE_corner.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 807px) 100vw, 807px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38725\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: Wikipedia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colorado law does not allow retail sales of psilocybin, unlike cannabis, which can be sold both recreationally and medically in the state. But it allows adults 21 and older to grow, use, and share psychedelic mushrooms for personal use. Colorado, of course, made headlines back in 2012 when voters passed the nation&#8217;s first adult-use and recreational marijuana program. Here are some of the guidelines found on the state\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dpo.colorado.gov\/NaturalMedicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Natural Medicine Division website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unlike that historic adult-use passage, Proposition 122 does not allow for recreational or medical sales of psilocybin mushrooms, DMT, ibogaine, and mescaline.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It does, however, allow for anyone 21 and over to grow, use, and share psychedelic mushrooms, DMT, and mescaline legally.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is no possession limit for psilocybin, DMT, and mescaline for personal use.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can grow cannabis at home, but only within a designated 12\u2019 x 12\u2019 space.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019re allowed to share cannabis as long as it\u2019s done for counseling, spiritual guidance, or within a community-oriented setting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can\u2019t sell psilocybin, use it in public, or display it openly.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Colorado Natural Medicine Division License Types<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colorado\u2019s Natural Medicine Advisory Board has hammered out the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1mFG_nnkrAI9bTbJ1lBcYCknyq03Di6Bd\/edit?tab=t.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">licensing details for the emerging psychedelic-assisted therapy industry<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> it supports since passage three years ago. The Colorado Department of Revenue has designated the Natural Medicine Division to license and regulate businesses that offer psilocybin-assisted therapy. There are five different types of licenses available to applicants for psilocybin-assisted therapy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Healing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Applicants must obtain a natural medicine handler license to operate their healing center locations legally. Once licensed, healing centers may keep up to 10g of dried mushrooms on-site at any given time. Micro-healing center licenses are also available for already existing wellness and therapy centers that wish to integrate psychedelic-assisted therapy into their services offered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cultivation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">All of those mushrooms aren\u2019t going to grow themselves, so over time, there will need to be a multitude of cultivators to provide the mushrooms themselves to healing centers and therapists. There are two types of licenses available to potential cultivators\u2013a standard tier license allows for 5kg of dried mushrooms to be on site, while a micro tier license permits 750g at a time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Manufacturing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Manufacturers are responsible for creating products from the mushrooms themselves, similar to what extractors do for cannabis edibles and concentrates. Extraction endorsement licenses are mandatory for potential licensees to produce pressed tablets, chocolates, gummies, and tinctures. Tea bags and capsule production don\u2019t require an extraction endorsement license.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Testing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A reliable testing framework is already in place for R&amp;D testing firms that work in the state\u2019s recreational and medical cannabis programs. These companies will only need to apply for a license to test natural medicine that\u2019s produced specifically by state-licensed cultivators and not for personal use, psilocybin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Facilitator &amp; Handlers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Potential healers specializing in natural medicine are a huge part of psychedelic-assisted therapy. These people are recognized as facilitators according to the program guidelines and must undergo a vigorous facilitator training program certified by the state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Handlers are anyone who works in any of the above roles <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/dnm.colorado.gov\/natural-medicine-handlers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and physically handles any psilocybin products<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at any point in the process. Licenses for facilitators and handlers of natural medicine are issued by the Department of Regulatory Agencies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Owners<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Owners of natural medicine therapy locations must apply for an owner\u2019s license to operate their businesses legally in Colorado. This license type provides the same access as a Natural Medicine Handler license, which is not additionally required when an applicant already holds an owner\u2019s license. Owners can also have a vested interest in five locations in total, while hybrid owner-facilitator licenses are also an option.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How Does Colorado\u2019s Natural Medicine Program Compare to Oregon\u2019s?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colorado takes first place in history for its adult-use cannabis program, but when it comes to psilocybin health services, Oregon takes the cake. Voters in Oregon passed <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/thousands-on-waitlists-for-oregons-psychedelic-therapy-clinics\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Measure 109 via the ballot box in 2020<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, marking the first time any state allowed licensed providers to use psilocybin in a therapy setting for people 21 and over.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This undertaking paved the way for Oregon\u2019s current <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/oha\/ph\/preventionwellness\/pages\/psilocybin-administrative-rules.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Psilocybin Services Act<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, which only provides for psilocybin during treatment, compared to Colorado\u2019s plan to eventually roll the program out to other psychedelics like DMT, mescaline, and ibogaine. Also, Oregon\u2019s Psilocybin Services Act currently only decriminalizes minor possession of psilocybin, whereas Colorado has allowed for complete legal personal use possession with no limits for adults 21 and over.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>No Prescriptions or PhD Needed for Treatment<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oregon and Colorado do not require a prescription from a medical professional for eligibility for psychedelic-assisted therapy, however, there are several steps in the process. These include an initial health screening, preparation and support plans, administration of the psychedelics themselves, and a follow-up integration session between facilitator and patient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Anyone seeking to be a hands-on facilitator therapist in either state can do so without a clinical license. Both states require enrollment in a state-sponsored curriculum training program, however, Colorado has some additional training, practicum, and continued education requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Healing Center Designations in Colorado and Oregon<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Doctors\u2019 offices and wellness centers in Colorado can host psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions. These locations must securely store psilocybin when not in use, especially if they also offer traditional treatments during other hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Existing wellness and therapy centers can apply for a micro-healing center license that can integrate psychedelic-assisted therapy into their offerings for their patients. Traditional wellness and therapy centers in Oregon aren\u2019t fortunate enough to have the same flexibility. Therapy can also take place at authorized homes and care facilities outside of licensed healing centers in Colorado for anyone with an approved disability or who may be in hospice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/researchers-explore-mdma-therapy-to-treat-ptsd-in-transgender-and-gender-diverse-populations\/\">Researchers Explore Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy for Identity-Based Trauma<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Center Origin Denver to Begin Psilocybin Assisted Therapy<\/b><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_38726\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38726\" style=\"width: 766px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-38726\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/download.jpg\" alt=\"The Origin Denver Logo\" width=\"766\" height=\"763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/download.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/download-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 766px) 100vw, 766px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-38726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: KXAN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Colorado\u2019s first designated psilocybin-assisted therapy center is getting lots of attention lately. The Center Origin in Denver, a yoga and wellness studio since 2023, is now ready to begin administering psilocybin therapy sessions as soon as the first batch receives approval.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Center Origin will start with 10 patients a month, according to its CEO and co-founder, Elizabeth Cooke, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1mFG_nnkrAI9bTbJ1lBcYCknyq03Di6Bd\/edit?tab=t.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">in a recent interview<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. The company will then see how successful things go first before expanding its pool of patients. Guided trips with psilocybin and a licensed facilitator will integrate facets of yoga, massage, sound therapy, meditation, and aromatherapy to enhance and personalize experiences. Cooke also mentioned in the interview that prospective patients can expect to pay $3,500 for a full therapy plan, plus the cost of the psilocybin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Does A Psilocybin-Assisted Healing Center Mean for the Future of Psychedelic Therapy?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Psychedelic endeavors like what patients will experience at the Center Origin and many other subsequent healing centers in Colorado can dictate the future of this type of therapy. Colorado boasts a larger population sample than Oregon, featuring considerable demographics of both wellness and psychedelic advocates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hope is that, just like the Centennial State\u2019s historic adult-use adoption, more states will see that <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8901083\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">safe access coupled with legitimate professional support<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a reality for this type of therapy and will begin their own programs. Establishing those important factors can give people more choices than just relying on pharmaceuticals for conditions like PTSD, addiction, and depression, and may lead to a better quality of life without the long list of side effects.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers have steadily advanced the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy over the last decade or two.
