Now that Denver is the first city in the nation to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms, with the approval of Initiative 301, questions and inquiries have been flooding city officials.

On Thursday the office of Mayor Michael Hancock addressed the issue with the release of a single-sentence statement: “Mayor Hancock respects the decision of the voters and the Denver Police Department will enforce the law accordingly.”

Even after local passage of the initiative, magic mushrooms are still a Schedule 1 narcotic under federal law and are illegal to sell or possess as far as the feds are concerned.

Enforcement and training reviews concerning mushrooms in Denver will be undertaken by Denver police.

Personal use and possession of psilocybin mushrooms by people 21 years old and over will become “the city’s lowest law-enforcement priority,” according to the new law. Initiative 301 prohibits the city “from spending resources to impose criminal penalties” for the personal use of psychedelic mushrooms by those 21 and older.

The law is expected to take effect May 16.
