About
The Colorado Veterans Natural Medicine Alliance connects veterans in Colorado with the state's regulated psilocybin healing center system under the Natural Medicine Health Act (Prop 122). The Alliance operates at the intersection of veteran community trust and the emerging legal natural medicine sector, recognizing that the two communities need an intentional bridge.
The Alliance's core work involves peer outreach — veteran-to-veteran conversations about healing center access, subsidized by scholarship funds coordinated with Heroic Hearts Project and Mission Within. The peer model is essential: veterans are significantly more likely to seek psychedelic healing through referral from other veterans than through clinical channels.
The Alliance also provides legislative testimony on veteran access provisions in Colorado's Natural Medicine Health Act implementation, advocates for veteran-specific fee structures at DORA-licensed healing centers, and operates peer support groups for veterans navigating integration after their natural medicine experiences.
Why It Matters
Colorado's regulated psilocybin healing centers are the most accessible legal psychedelic therapy infrastructure in the United States for veterans who don't want to travel internationally. The Alliance is the institutional connector between that infrastructure and the communities of veterans who need it most.
