The Future of Psilocybin Therapy in Colorado: A RHIZE Perspective


At RHIZE Mushroom, we’re always excited to explore the latest in natural wellness, especially when it comes to the potential of psilocybin mushrooms. With the passing of Proposition 122 in 2022, Colorado has opened the door to a whole new realm of healing, making it one of the first states to decriminalize psilocybin therapy.


What Does Psilocybin Therapy Involve?


Psilocybin therapy is a revolutionary approach that uses psychedelic mushrooms to address mental health issues like PTSD, depression, and anxiety. In Colorado, the therapy takes place in healing centers, where clients are carefully screened before their psilocybin experience. Once approved, clients work with licensed facilitators who guide them through a safe and supervised session.





The Path to Becoming a Psilocybin Facilitator


For those interested in helping others through this transformative therapy, Colorado offers rigorous training programs.


These include:


  • 150 hours of coursework,

  • 40 hours of supervised practice,

  • and 50 hours of consultation.

  • Several programs, such as InnerTrek and Elemental Psychedelics, provide a mix of hands-on training and ethics education to ensure facilitators are well-prepared.


A Focus on Safety and Ethics


At RHIZE, we believe in the importance of maintaining high standards of safety and ethics in all forms of natural medicine. Colorado’s psilocybin facilitator programs emphasize these values, incorporating training on trauma-informed care and suicide prevention to ensure that facilitators can guide clients through sometimes challenging emotional experiences.



Johns Hopkins University Study on Psilocybin and Depression:


A 2020 study from Johns Hopkins Medicine found that psilocybin-assisted therapy produced significant, long-lasting improvements in individuals suffering from major depression. The effects persisted for over a year in many participants. This supports psilocybin’s therapeutic potential for treating mood disorders like depression and PTSD.



Why Psilocybin Therapy Matters


Psilocybin therapy holds incredible promise for those seeking alternative treatments for mental health issues. Early research shows that psilocybin can help individuals unlock new perspectives and heal from trauma. At RHIZE, we’re passionate about the transformative power of mushrooms and excited to see how psilocybin therapy will evolve in Colorado.


Join the Movement


As the state prepares to launch official psilocybin programs in 2025, we at RHIZE are excited to see how this natural medicine will continue to benefit individuals seeking healing. Whether you’re interested in the therapeutic potential or simply love mushrooms like we do, this is an exciting time to be part of the natural wellness community.
