Provincetown this week became the seventh Massachusetts community to move towards effectively decriminalizing psychedelic plants and fungi, such as psilocybin or “magic” mushrooms and ayahuasca.
The Provincetown Select Board voted to approve a resolution on Dec. 11 that instructs police officers to deprioritize cases involving psilocybin, and calls for statewide decriminalization and for the Cape & Islands District Attorney to cease prosecution of people possessing, cultivating or distributing psychedelic plants.
The board voted 3-1-1, with member Leslie Sandberg abstaining and chair Dave Abramson voting against the measure.
