DENVER  A measure to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms in the city of Denver passed by a thin margin, election officials confirmed Wednesday.

Initiative 301 will decriminalize the possession or use of the mushrooms by locals who are at least 21 years old.

You’re assuming that isn’t already a daily occurrence in Denver. Now it’s just not quite as illegal.

Along the coast you'll hear them boast
About a light they say that shines so clear
So raise your glass, we'll drink a toast
To the little man who sells you thrills along the pier

He'll take you up, he'll bring you down
He'll plant your feet back firmly on the ground
He flies so high, he swoops so low
He knows exactly which way he's gonna go

Good.  Psilocybe mushrooms are immensely beneficial for a variety of disorders, including PTSD and depression.

Is it just me or does it seem that plants (or fungi) which grow naturally should NOT be illegal?

I would never do shrooms but I have houseplants right now that would make me sick or even outright kill me if I ingested them and they aren't illegal "for my safety" so WTF?

Legalize all drugs.

Legalize all of em, whoever is stupid enough to start doing them will likely end up in prison for
stealing shit to fund the habit.
Society would suck for several years but eventually so many idiots would be in prison the only
remaining folks would be the better side of society. Also, eventually people would respect
and understand that drugs are for losers.

Whos with me?

Good.

You find the damn things growing in your mulch and along the riverbanks here.

There's a lot of evidence that they are a gamechanger in the right doses to treat PTSD and depression.

Who cares if someone picks a mushroom and eats it?

this is something prolly not a big deal. real hallucinogens are not necessary 'fun' to take. i doubt you will see thousands of mushroom bars cropping up in colorado.

what is interesting is if they make this legal, what about peyote? seems like that would make more sense they mushrooms.

No doubt. The older I get the more ridiculous a lot of this virtue signaling becomes. I can buy alcohol and drink it at home. Don't get drunk and drive and hurt someone. Same with any of this stuff. Really, who cares.

Lots of ignorance in this thread.

Prob should do some research on those types of drugs before making dumb statements about OD’ing or being addicted to those types of drugs.

It’s also a great religious discussion about why god would create such a “fun” edible mushroom.

My only prob with making drugs legal is they will be more easily abused. Used by children who’s minds aren’t developed yet and the driving aspect.

Alcohol is no different and should be in the same sentence when you are for or against drugs.

I get folks against all of it. I don’t get folks who are ok with just alcohol being legal.

lol some people have such a distorted world view that if something is against the law, it means it doesn't happen.

Ironically, the above poster or many others would use arguments like 'if guns are outlawed, only criminals will have them' never stopping to think the same logic can be applied to virtually any other space.

Denver has its oddities, but really all this will result in is less people going to jail. Strangely not bothered by it.
