The Denver District Attorney’s Office dropped charges against a Denver rabbi who uses psychedelics in light of the approval of Proposition 122, which legalizes such drugs for medicinal use, by Colorado voters in November.
Proposition 122 also decriminalized the personal possession, use, growth and transport of psychedelic plants and fungi classified as natural medicine by the proposition.
The charges against Rabbi Ben Gorelick were dropped Thursday “in the interest of justice,” the district attorney’s office told the Denver Post. He had been arrested in February after a police raid on a warehouse in north Denver found more than 30 types of psychedelic mushrooms being grown.
