Organizers Jonathan Cherkoss and Eric Burden have planned an event that embraces the state's progressive stance on these substances. With their witty and humorous writing style, they aim to create an accessible and enjoyable experience for everyone attending Shroom Fest.
The festival, which will be held at ReelWorks Denver on June 9, will not only provide a platform for celebrating natural psychedelics but also educate attendees on their proper use and facilitation. It is important to note that public consumption of psilocybin is still illegal in Colorado and will not be permitted at Shroom Fest.
Experience the Vibrant Atmosphere of Shroom Fest
At Shroom Fest, attendees can expect a unique and vibrant celebration of psychedelic mushrooms and natural psychedelics. The festival will feature a diverse range of live music performances, food trucks serving delicious eats, and approximately forty vendors showcasing their art and products.
With his charismatic personality and outgoing nature, co-founder Eric Burden believes that those who choose to partake in legal psychedelics will not only enjoy the festival but also improve their lives through the experience. He emphasizes the importance of maintaining good behavior at the festival and creating a supportive community for all attendees.
As Colorado continues to shape its regulations and guidelines for the use of psychedelics, events like Shroom Fest highlight the state's progressive approach to these substances and its potential to become a hub for psychedelic culture.
Denver's Emerging Role in the Psychedelics Space
Denver's early adoption of psilocybin decriminalization and Colorado's legalization of medical psilocybin have positioned the city and state as leaders in the psychedelics space. The co-founders, Jonathan Cherkoss and Eric Burden, believe that Denver has the potential to become a destination for psychedelic events, thanks to its legal protections and the support of the local community.
With their humorous anecdotes and satirical reviews, Cherkoss and Burden have already made a mark in the psychedelic community. Cherkoss was involved in organizing Colorado's first public magic mushroom growing competition, while Burden is the founder of Denver Spore Company, a mycology and mushroom spore business.
Smaller events involving the display and sharing of psilocybin mushrooms have already taken place in the city, but Shroom Fest aims to be the first large-scale festival dedicated to celebrating these natural psychedelics.
Colorado's Progressive Stance on Psychedelics
Colorado voters approved the Natural Medicine Health Act in the November 2022 election, granting individuals the freedom to engage with natural psychedelics. Senate Bill 290, passed in 2023, further solidified the Natural Medicine Health Act and added additional regulations for ibogaine.
While laws and regulations surrounding psychedelics are still being developed, Cherkoss and Burden hope that Shroom Fest attendees will have the opportunity to learn about the proper use and facilitation of psilocybin while enjoying themselves at the festival.
Colorado is currently in the process of crafting regulations for the medical use of psilocybin and other psychedelics. The state has become a hub for entrepreneurs and psychedelics professionals, attracting thousands of attendees to conferences like Psychedelic Science and PsyCon.
