~ In a groundbreaking move, the Tacoma City Council has passed Resolution 41609, declaring entheogen-related activities as the lowest law enforcement priority within the city. The resolution, which was brought forward by District 5 Council Member Joe Bushnell and co-sponsored by Mayor Victoria Woodards, At-large Council Member Olgy Diaz, and District 3 Council Member Jamika Scott, aims to open doors for mental health treatment research by decriminalizing entheogens.

Council Member Bushnell, a veteran who lives with PTSD, emphasized the importance of exploring innovative and compassionate approaches to mental health. He stated that in the United States alone, 22 veterans commit suicide every day and as someone who understands the challenges of living with a mental health condition, he sees the potential of entheogens as a beacon of hope. By declaring support for decriminalization, Tacoma can advocate for further research and potentially life-changing treatments.

Entheogens have been scientifically proven to be effective in treating various conditions such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD. In fact, the FDA has designated psilocybin-assisted therapy as a breakthrough treatment for treatment-resistant depression.

Tacoma now joins other Washington state jurisdictions such as Seattle, Port Townsend, Olympia, and Jefferson County in deprioritizing local enforcement against entheogen-related activities. This move reflects a growing trend towards recognizing the potential benefits of these substances in treating mental health conditions.

The passing of Resolution 41609 is seen as a significant step towards promoting more progressive and compassionate approaches to mental health treatment in Tacoma. With this resolution in place, it is hoped that further research will be conducted on entheogens and their potential therapeutic uses.
