Hello,
I'm reaching out because I would like to see the City of Madison decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi.
Modern research has shown that entheogens (such as psilocybin) are safe and non-addictive. In fact, studies have found that entheogens can help treat mental health issues, like treatment-resistant depression and addiction. They have also been found to promote empathy and kickstart positive life changes. Despite this, Wisconsin considers most violations of entheogen law to be felonies!
Madison residents shouldn't have to live in fear of a felony for using a promising medicine. Madison wouldn't be the first city to decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi, either. Minneapolis, Detroit and Ann Arbor have all decriminalized recently.
I encourage you to support the local movement to decriminalize entheogens, Decriminalize Nature Madison. You can visit their website at https://dnmadison.org for more information on entheogens and their benefits. You can also email them at [email protected].
Thank you for your consideration.
