FAQ

Colorado voters approved Proposition 122, the Natural Medicine Health Act (NMHA), in the 2022 general election. The Colorado Legislature passed SB23-290, the formal implementation bill for Proposition 122. The Colorado Legislature worked to honor the intention of Proposition 122. The bill was signed into law on May 23, 2023. SB23-290 replaced Proposition 122 and went into effect on July 1, 2023.
Colorado's SB230 allows for the personal use of psilocybin. This means people in Colorado under Colorado law are allowed to grow, share and gift these substances, but they are not allowed to sell them.
Our psychedelic experiences are optional and the sharing of substances are not part of the ticket price. Sales are for lodging and activities, and creating a safe harm reduction space.
Colorado's law regarding personal use is defined as “the consumption of natural medicine or natural medicine product; or the amount of natural medicine or natural medicine product a person may lawfully possess, cultivate, or manufacture that is necessary to share with another person who is twenty-one years of age or older within the context of counseling, spiritual guidance, beneficial community-based use and healing, supported use, or related services.”
Our event qualifies as a community-based use, and a supported use. Choosing to participate in the group journey is optional.

There are also individuals who, despite engaging in therapy, continue to grapple with anxiety, depression and stress and are searching for a different approach.
