The PNW Pushes Forward

In Olympia, WA, city leaders decisively voted to decriminalize psilocybin and other certain plants and fungi, declaring these should be the lowest priority for local law enforcement. This change kicks in 30 days after the vote. These grassroots efforts in Washington’s capital city were sparked by similar movements in Massachusetts, which has evolved into a powerful push for a statewide psychedelics legalization initiative set for the 2024 ballot.
