OUR POLICY PRINCIPLES
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 harmoniously. 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.
