Indeed you can!  Growing your own mushrooms and sharing mushrooms with other adults is decriminalized in Colorado.  Having a sober sitter who you trust and ideally who has some psychedelic experience is strongly advised.

I have journeyed with mushrooms across a wide range of settings.  My deepest, most coherent, most easy-to-integrate journeys have been the professionally facilitated ones.  I found there was a clarity and integrity of container that makes a real difference. 

May we create a future in which journeys through expanded states are woven into the fabric of healthy community life, are accessible to all who may benefit, and in which mushrooms are familiar (if always a bit unpredictable and exciting) friends. 

Yes!  From a toxicology/physical safety standpoint, psilocybin mushrooms are safer than any drug I prescribed during my medical career.  We will do a thorough screening for medical and mental health conditions that could increase your risk of an adverse experience with mushrooms.  During the journey, you may experience unpleasant or even frightening physical sensations, but you are safe!  In the extremely rare case of a medical emergency occurring during a journey, I would promptly obtain the appropriate medical care for you.  

Strong healing relationships between humans and psilocybin mushrooms have been cultivated in indigenous Mexican communities for thousands of years.  Wealthy white Americans took the practice of mushroom ceremony north in a dishonest exchange that directly harmed the Mazatec community.  Psilocybin mushrooms do grow in North American, in Europe, indeed on every continent except Antarctica.  Many cultures have likely engaged with them ceremonially.  While they cannot “belong” to any one culture, it is important to recognize that it was through the sacred portal held by the Mazatec people of Mexico that the mushrooms arrived here in the United States. I believe it is our current responsibility to make reparations when possible, build reciprocal relationships with the indigenous teachers and communities that continue to steward these medicines, and to create new forms of relationships with the mushroom with integrity.  My current practice is to give 5% of the profit from my mushroom work to an indigenous reciprocity fund, to resist the declaration of any human as illegal, and to continue engaging with indigenous teachers both in Colorado and in Oaxaca, Mexico.
