A bill aimed at protecting kids on social media could ban content related to decriminalized psychedelics for all users, advocates worry.
The bill would ban social media accounts from posting about certain controlled substances, including the psychedelics that were decriminalized in Colorado in 2022, to users of all ages.. The cafe regularly hosts roundtable discussions and craft markets, as well as events at which adults legally share small amounts of psilocybin as longtime growers or facilitators teach them about psychedelics.
Richmond says that operating on Instagram and Facebook is already difficult because of policies and algorithms that flag federally illegal substances with state-legal sectors, such as cannabis and psychedelics, while TikTok's approach is even less tolerant. One of three bills addressing youth social media use this year, SB 158 could help "change the world our kids are growing up in"; if measures aren't taken, the harms of social media will"continue to mount," Michaelson Jenet
Colorado's marijuana industry vocally opposed the bill earlier this year because of similar language that would've included cannabis. An amendment was later added to allow medical and retail marijuana content as long as the materials or promotions comply with the state's laws — but hemp products with small amounts of THC or those intended for human consumption that aren't “a dietary supplement, a food, a food additive, or an herb” would still be banned.
