Proposition 122 Legalizing Psilocybins Passes in Colorado

By: Nick Richards, Esq.

Colorado! Joining Oregon to lead the way in reversing the war on drugs! It appears that Proposition 122 will pass and legalize personal use and clinics for medicinal use of psilocybin, ibogaine, mescaline, and DMT for adults. But first – let us learn from the lessons of the past. The war on drugs is still raging at the IRS and new psilocybin clinics will have to navigate IRC Section 280E just like cannabis companies. The tax “penalty” is severe and was tailored to remove the profit from the illegal (federally) sale of controlled substances. Proposition 122

The Cannabis Law Group at Greenspoon Marder, notably recognized by Law360 as the Cannabis Practice Group of the Year, is prepared to assist the emerging medical industry in establishing companies that are insulated from Section 280E (to the extent possible) and are structured for tax efficiencies moving into the fully legal psychedelic industry. If you have any questions on Proposition 122 and how our team can assist, please contact me at [email protected].
