EDM’s Biggest DJs React To Denver Decriminalizing Mushrooms

Yesterday in a landmark vote, Denver chose to decriminalize magic mushrooms, and in effect, their active psychoactive ingredient, psilocybin. A naturally occurring plant, magic mushrooms have been used for centuries and are currently a federally classified Schedule I drug. However, so is cannabis, and that didn’t stop Colorado from becoming the first state to legalize that, either.


As much as we like to separate music from drugs, it’s no secret that electronic dance music and its fans like to make use experience enhancing substances, including mushrooms. It doesn’t even stop with the fans though, as artists like Alison Wonderland have recently started espousing their love for the fungi.

Artists are celebrating the landmark decision as much as fans — see what some the happy producers have to say below.
