DC  PSYCHEDELIC  LAWS

In November 2020, the Entheogenic Plants and Fungus Measure, also known as Initiative 81 (I-81), was approved to support non-commercial possession, cultivation, usage, and distribution of entheogenic plants and fungi.

​

Entheogenic plants and fungi contain ibogaine, dimethyltryptamine, mescaline, and psilocybin. In addition, the I-81 initiative placed entheogenic plants and fungus as the lowest priority for law enforcement and prosecution.

​

It is important to note that I-81 did not legalize ethenogenic plants. However, it does allow people to grow, use, and possess their own without government interference. And it does not support the purchase or sale of them, including magic mushrooms.

 

As a result, the shroom gifting community allowed mushrooms to be given as a gift to avoid the headache of being safely and legally licensed for purchase for people 21+ years old paired with legal identification.
