Divisions

Division of Natural Medicine

The Division of Natural Medicine is the government agency responsible for regulating the use of psilocybin in Colorado. The Division of Natural Medicine is part of the Department of Revenue and was created by SB23-290, which implements Proposition 122. Proposition 122 is otherwise known as the Natural Medicine Health Act and passed in 2022. No prescription or referral is necessary to use psilocybin in Colorado. Participants also do not need to be state residents. Participants need to be at least 21 years old. They also need to complete a mental health history with a licensed facilitator. The mental health history screens for a personal or family history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or suicidal thoughts. Those conditions are contraindicated, and an individual cannot use psilocybin if they have a personal or family history of these conditions. The use of psilocybin risks triggering bipolar mania, psychosis, or worsening suicidality. As of 2026, 34 healing centers have been approved in Colorado.
