Help Us End Psilocybin Prohibition

Hello everyone, I am currently working on a new organization dedicated to reforming our country's current psilocybin laws. As far as I know, we are the first organization of its kind. I just want to measure the amount of interest for such an organization.
I am not looking for donations, just looking for feedback and ideas. The obvious first steps will be creating a few petitions, start a letter/email writing campaign, but what about after that? Any feedback is welcome.
A link to our site can be found in my signature, but please note, it's no where near finished.

I am very serious about this project. I would like to become a registered nonprofit before doing anything. My question is, is it more difficult to become a registered nonprofit being an organization that stands for drug law reform?

In theory nope. However that's actually a good question to ask DPA as they are both a non-profit and advocate massive drug reform and have created and supported needle exchanges, crack pipe exchanges and safe spaces.

Can you be as specific as you can in your motives for doing this? I think it would be best accepted by new ears if it seemed to accomplish a tangible benefit to society.
I remember Doblin from MAPS discussing how over the last decade they have changed strategy to make psychedelics seem accepted by the medical community. The old selling point was a religious/spiritual significance, now it is medicine.

Check their schemes, and become very literate on all the laws you have to tackle, and of all the medical studies that have been done that could hurt or help your case.

I'd suggest you start by learning how the existing laws and regulations work. If you're in the U.S., you need to be clear on what you want to achieve when you say "ending prohibition."
