Colorado is gearing up for a magical mushroom makeover with its psilocybin therapy program set to launch in 2025. But like a plot twist in a sitcom, the final decision on business license fees has hit the pause button for more public chitchat. The Department of Revenue has until Dec. 31 to sort this out, so applications can start rolling in. The Healing Advocacy Fund is jazzed about the delay, hoping it means a safer, more accessible trip for everyone.
The proposed fees are designed to keep the program’s lights on, with early birds catching a break on costs. However, there’s drama brewing over high fees for micro-healing centers, with some folks pushing for tiered fees or a special category for solo operators. A survey shows there’s a mushrooming interest in licenses for everything from healing centers to cultivation.
Poinsatte, the resident psychic, predicts fewer applications for cultivation and manufacturing than the state expects. Why? Because the therapy involves just a couple of high-dose sessions that pack a punch. This means more focus on supportive care, leading to more healing centers than cultivators or manufacturers – a plot twist the Department of Revenue didn’t see coming.
Stay tuned; the final hearing date is expected to drop sometime in October. So, grab your popcorn – this regulatory rollercoaster is just heating up!
