Resident Opposes Psychedelic Businesses in Rio Blanco County
Summary
At a Rio Blanco County Board meeting, resident Ed Peck told commissioners he opposed any psychedelic businesses coming to the county and left informational packets, some sourced from the State of Colorado.
Ed Peck spoke during the public comment period at the Rio Blanco County Board of Commissioners meeting on June 17, 2025, saying he opposed any psychedelic businesses attempting to open in Rio Blanco County and offering informational packets to the board.
Peck said he and his wife moved to the area four years ago and that he wanted to make his opposition public. “I just wanted to make public my opposition to any psychedelic businesses attempting to come into Rio Blanco,” Peck said, and he added that he would leave informational packets with county and town officials. He said most of the material in the packets “came from the state of Colorado.”
Peck also said he planned to press the same position at the town level and would leave the same materials with the town administrator. He provided his contact information in the packet for follow-up.
No board action on the topic was recorded in the meeting transcript. Peck’s remarks came during the meeting’s public comment period rather than as part of an agenda item. The board did not discuss or vote on any policy or regulation related to psychedelic businesses during the portion of the meeting captured in the transcript.
The public comment record shows local opposition was voiced and that at least one resident provided state-sourced materials to county and town officials for their consideration.
