As an advocacy organization that wants to democratize access to these medicines safely and ethically, We advocate for policies that SUPPORT decriminalization first or in conjunction with medicalized legalization but we OPPOSE any legislation that does not include decriminalization.

It’s not either or, it is both. Decriminalization and Medicalized models can co-exist very nicely 😊

We urge the psychedelic community to advocate for the same. If a medicalized or commercial legalized model is done without decriminalization, there is little chance that any decriminalization bill would follow and without it, it is unsafe, immoral, and unethical.

We have provided an example script to voice your message to the legislators in your state in the article linked above.
