How to Help Legalize Psilocybin (Without Doing a Ton of Work)

Alright, let’s be real—most people don’t have the time, money, or energy to be full-time activists. That’s fine. The good news? Even if you’re lazy, broke, or just don’t care that much, you can still help push psilocybin reform forward.

Psilocybin (the active stuff in “magic mushrooms”) is proving to be a game-changer for mental health, but it’s still illegal in most places. The goal is to decriminalize, medicalize, and eventually legalize it. Here’s how you can help—whether you wanna go all-in or just do the bare minimum.

Step 1: Decriminalization – Stop Arresting People for Mushrooms

Right now, in most states, if you get caught with psilocybin—even just a small amount—you can be fined, arrested, or even jailed. Decriminalization would mean no more criminal charges for simple possession. Places like Denver, Oakland, and Washington, D.C. have already done it, and guess what? Society didn’t collapse.

What You Can Do: • Contact Local Officials – You don’t need to write a long essay. Just send a quick email or call your local reps. Tell them you support decriminalization. Find them here: Find Your Elected Officials • Sign Petitions – Takes like 30 seconds. Just add your name: • Change.org Psychedelic Reform Petitions • Decriminalize Nature Petitions • Put Up Flyers – Print out simple flyers with facts about psilocybin and tape ’em up around town (coffee shops, college campuses, light poles—whatever). Keep it basic and to the point. • Talk About It – Seriously, just talking about it helps. Bring it up in convo, post about it on social media, or share articles when you see ‘em. • Use Your Vote – If there’s ever a psilocybin-related bill on the ballot, vote YES. If a candidate supports decriminalization, support them.

Step 2: Medical Use – Getting Psilocybin Into Therapy

Researchers at places like Johns Hopkins and NYU have been running studies on psilocybin, and the results are insane. It’s helping people with depression, PTSD, addiction, and even anxiety in terminally ill patients. The next step is making it legal for medical use, like how cannabis became available for patients before it was fully legalized.

What You Can Do: • Share The Science – A lot of people still think psilocybin is just some hippie nonsense. Show them the legit research: • Johns Hopkins Psychedelic Research • MAPS (Psychedelic Studies) • Usona Institute Research • Write to Your State Reps – Tell them you support medical psilocybin programs. It takes 2 mins: Find Your State Legislators • Support Oregon & Colorado’s Programs – These states already allow psilocybin therapy. The more successful these programs are, the more other states will follow. Spread awareness so people who need it can actually use it: • Oregon Psilocybin Services • Colorado Natural Medicine Health Act • Join a Study – Some places are still recruiting volunteers for psilocybin research. If you qualify, you could be part of the movement firsthand: • Clinical Trials (Search “Psilocybin”)

Step 3: Full Legalization – Making Psilocybin Available Like Cannabis

Full legalization would mean psilocybin is regulated, taxed, and sold like cannabis in legal states. That means safer products, education, and economic benefits (instead of criminal charges and shady underground markets).

What You Can Do: • Follow the Money – Big Pharma and alcohol companies don’t want psychedelics legalized because they know it’ll cut into their profits. Pay attention to who’s funding anti-psychedelic campaigns and call them out. • Support Legalization Efforts in Your State – If there’s ever a push to get psilocybin on the ballot, sign the petitions and spread the word. Check for updates here: • Psychedelic Science Policy Tracker • Get Merch That Supports the Cause – T-shirts, stickers, posters—whatever. Even wearing a “Legalize Psilocybin” shirt can spark conversation. • Keep Talking About It – People forget stuff fast. The more psilocybin stays in public conversations, the harder it is for lawmakers to ignore.

Lazy? Broke? Busy? You Can Still Help.

Not everyone wants to go to rallies or write long emails. Here’s some low-effort stuff you can do:

Follow & Share Social Media Accounts – It’s literally just clicking a button. Some good ones: • DecriminalizeNature • MAPS • PsychedelicAlpha

Change Your Profile Pic or Banner – Use pro-psychedelic images to show support without saying a word.

Use Word of Mouth – Just casually mention psilocybin research in convos. You’d be surprised how many people don’t know the facts.

Drop Comments on News Articles – If you see a news story about psychedelics, leave a comment supporting legalization. Public opinion matters.

Sign & Share Petitions – Takes 10 seconds. Do it while you’re on the toilet.

The Bottom Line

You don’t have to be a hardcore activist to help psilocybin reform. Even small things—signing petitions, sharing articles, or just talking about it—can make a real difference.

Legalization doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen when enough people push for it. So pick something from this list, do it today, and help make psilocybin more accessible for those who need it.
