A new resolution has been passed in Central California to decriminalize the use of psychedelic mushrooms.

The City Council of Santa Cruz voted unanimously on Tuesday to approve a measure that will make investigation and arrest for "the adult possession, use or cultivation of psychoactive plants and fungi" a low-priority infraction by law enforcement.

"This Council initiative is part of a diversity of strategies taking care of mental health in our community," Councilmember Chris Krohn told ABC News in a statement. "This resolution ensures that only people 21 and over have access to these plants and the Council has given direction to our Police Department to make it a low priority infraction."

Krohn also said: "Entheogenic plants offer many in our community a way out of the addictive pharmaceuticals known as opioids. People came forward at last night’s meeting telling of the beneficial effects of how these plants changed their lives."
