Decriminalize Nature of Toledo, Ohio Welcomes You!
Decriminalize Nature Toledo was formed in 2026 with the mission to decriminalize entheogenic plants and fungi in Toledo, OH.
We draw inspiration from the many cities and states that have successfully decriminalized these entheogens, like Ann Arbor, MI and Denver, CO. We believe that these plants and fungi should be accessible to all for healing and spiritual practices, as well as personal freedoms and public health.
Through the decriminalization of these entheogens, we hope to restore the connection to nature, to our spirituality, and to ourselves.
We believe that we as humans have an inalienable right to connect with nature and these entheogens free from governmental control and to pursue our own paths to healing.

To decriminalize entheogenic plants, restore our root connection to nature, and improve human health and well-being.
Why Decriminalize Entheogenic Plants?
Entheogenic plants have been used for centuries in spiritual, cultural, and healing practices across many societies. Decriminalizing them recognizes that criminal penalties for personal use often create more harm than the substances themselves by increasing incarceration, stigma, and barriers to mental health support.
Research into substances such as psilocybin and ayahuasca also suggests potential benefits for conditions like depression, PTSD, addiction, and end-of-life anxiety when used responsibly and in supportive settings.
Decriminalization supports a public health approach that emphasizes education, harm reduction, personal freedom, cultural respect, and safe, informed use rather than criminal punishment. Decriminalizing these sacred plants and fungi allows communities to reconnect with their ancient uses, free from government and corporate control.
There are 4 main types of entheogenic plants and fungi, each with their own benefits and properties.
