Decriminalized

Psychedelic Status in District of Columbia

District of Columbia has not legalized psychedelic therapy statewide, but one jurisdiction has decriminalized possession of psychedelic substances. Decriminalization means reduced or eliminated penalties for personal possession — it does not mean legal therapy is available.

There are no licensed facilitators, service centers, or regulated therapy programs in District of Columbia. If you're looking for legal psychedelic therapy, Oregon and Colorado currently have operational programs. Here's the current situation in District of Columbia and what might change.
