STEP 1MAKE SOME CONNECTIONS
Because psilocybin is still illegal in Colorado, there’s no such thing as an aboveboard session with a licensed therapist. Instead, the mushroom-curious will need to find those who have experience assisting people with psilocybin journeys despite the illegality of the pursuit. This is no easy task. Almost everyone involved in what the community calls “medicine work” finds clients through hush-hush methods, since decriminalization doesn’t yet allow people to share mushrooms or use them in a communal setting. That could change soon, but for now finding a facilitator means asking around in the right circles (see “Mycelium Web” on page 102).
