Three-In-Five DC Voters Support Psychedelics Decriminalization Initiative, New Poll Finds

Three-in-five voters in Washington, D.C. are in favor of an initiative to decriminalize a wide range of psychedelics, a new survey shows.

Support for the measure increased significantly as more residents became informed about the proposal, rising nine percentage points since the last poll was conducted in April.

Sixty percent of survey respondents said they would vote in favor of Initiative 81, which would make entheogenic substances such as psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca among the lowest local law enforcement priorities in the nation’s capital city. Only 24 percent said they would vote “no,” with an additional 16 percent undecided.
