Hello, [Insert Name]

We the people of Jackson want to decriminalize entheogens. Will you help? We have provided some great information we think you should know about.

Did you know that a May 2018 study by UC Davis researchers and scientists found that natural “magic mushrooms” inspire strong neural growth? The study shows increases In Dendrite growth, the number of Dendrites per neuron, and a widening of the Axon, all critical to the flow of information in the human brain. This enables plasticity in neural patterns, allowing for one of the most successful forms of treatment for depression, PTSD, and end-of-life anxiety. Below, find links to scientific and news articles, including the groundbreaking UC Davis study, to learn more about one of nature’s greatest medicines that co-evolved with humans, mammals, and life on Earth for hundreds of millions of years.

Psilocybe Mushrooms:

• Respected as safe and sacred medicine for millennia throughout the world
• Beneficial for depression, anxiety, addictions, and recidivism
• Encourages openness, creativity, neuroplasticity, and spiritual growth
• Johns Hopkins study: 80% considered their psilocybin experience as one of the top 5 most meaningful experiences in their lives
• UCLA and NYU are studying psilocybin as treatment for end-of-life anxiety
• Canadian federal government has recently granted medical exemptions for four end-of-life patients to be able to use psilocybin
