"On Jan. 1, Oregon became the first state in the nation to legalize the adult use of psilocybin, a naturally occurring psychedelic that has shown significant promise for treating severe depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and end-of-life anxiety among the terminally ill, among other mental health conditions.

Although scientists are still working to understand their therapeutic dynamics, psilocybin and other psychedelics are thought to promote neuroplasticity, a rewiring of the brain that gives patients fresh perspectives on longstanding psychiatric problems.
One recent study on alcohol-use disorder, for example, found that two doses of psilocybin paired with talk therapy led to an 83 percent decline in heavy drinking among participants, and that nearly half of them had stopped drinking entirely by the end of the eight-month trial.

Measure 109, as it’s called, authorized the creation of psilocybin service centers where anyone over 21 can consume the mushrooms in a supervised setting. One key requirement is that a state-certified facilitator must be present during drug-induced journeys, which can last five or six hours. For drug reform supporters, Oregon’s approval of Measure 109 is nothing short of revolutionary, a seismic policy shift they hope will inspire other states and municipalities — and persuade federal authorities to ease longstanding prohibitions."

Happy 9/20, the annual celebration of psychedelic mushrooms.

Originally created in 2015 by mushroom advocate Nicholas Reville, September 20 continues to be celebrated globally as Magic Mushroom Day, a date for honoring psychedelic mushrooms.

"9/20 was chosen because it is at the beginning of autumn, when mushrooms are most plentiful; because it is close to the equinox, representing a change in direction; and because it echoes 4/20 and the successful movement for ma*****na decriminalization and legalization,” says Reville in a Rolling Stone article.

Our resolution to decriminalize entheogens in East Lansing failed last night in city council, 2-3. This was not the outcome we were hoping for, but we were pleased to hear the near unanimous support among city council members for the intention behind this resolution, that is that people should not be put in jail for accessing the natural healing that entheogens provide.

Thank you to Councilmember Dana Watson for championing this resolution, and to Mayor Pro Tem Jessy Gregg for your support. And thank you SO much to everyone who supported this movement in East Lansing, especially all the people who took the time to speak so eloquently to city council last night in support of the resolution. You all clearly made an impact on them, and change is coming whether they're ready for it or not!

There are still some avenues open to us for potential action here in the Lansing area, but now we can at least look forward to the statewide initiatives that will protect access to entheogens for all Michiganders. Find out more at https://www.micommunityhealing.org/

Onward!
