We believe that the use of entheogenic remedies/medicines for personal use should not be criminalized; this approach prioritizes public health, harm reduction, personal freedom and autonomy, cognitive and health liberty, spiritual well-being, and the most efficient use of limited city resources.
For equitable access to these entheogens, we also support the "grow-gather-gift” model, which encourages a community-oriented and sustainable approach… emphasizing personal cultivation, responsible gathering from nature, sharing within trusted networks, and fostering a deeper connection to community and nature.
Numerous cities across the United States have decriminalized the personal use of plant medicines, including: Port Townsend, Seattle, Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, Ferndale, Detroit, Minneapolis, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Oakland, Berkeley, District of Columbia, Portland (Maine), and Cambridge, among others.
We, the residents of Spokane, urge the leaders of Spokane to consider, to the greatest extent possible, the reduction of all criminal penalties associated with the non-commercial use of entheogen plants/substances - in all forms, including teas, extracts, and powders – making it the lowest level of concern/priority for law enforcement.
YOUR VOICE IS NEEDED. Please sign our petition and encourage friends and neighbors to do the same.
Enlighten Spokane is also collecting testimonials of healing, transformation, and spiritual growth. If you have an interest in submitting or presenting such a testimony, please reach out to: [email protected]

The scourge of synthetic opioids like fentanyl are terrorizing our community, killing over 300 Americans every day. We also have 30 veterans every day dying from suicide. We have treatments however in the form of psychedelics like MDMA and potentially psilocybin, that can change people's lives and keep them off dangerous substances like fentanyl, or tobacco and alcohol. Clinical trial data has shown the benefits, and people have used these agents safely in underground setting for many years. I am an advocate for expanded access and going after the real criminals in our community who are trafficking in fentanyl.
Critically important for Spokane, Washington, and the entire country.

Psychedelics are less addictive, more effective, more economical, and longer lasting than any traditional pharmaceuticals for many ailments that are responsible for the mental health crisis. Please consider opening research and secure access to those who qualify.
