Denver decriminalizes mushrooms!

[def90]

So far it looks like by a narrow margin a done deal.

I?m hoping we can get heroine and cocaine on the next ballot.

Once those get legalized then meth and crack should be a slam dunk shortly afterwards.

Yup.

Reason # 354,819,259 to not go to Denver.

Psychoactive drugs have huge potential for treating people.with PTSD and other psychosomatic disorders, moreso than already established methods.

Therapies using MDMA have shown that 68% of people that have undergone this therapy no longer show signs of or can be categorized as PTSD.

Holeee shit. This isn't about medicine for crying out loud. This about illegal and illicit use of intoxicants.

That's what the world needs, more people out of touch and trying to escape reality by feeding their drug habit through any and all means possible. This creates more government dependency and that's what the lefties want.

If you're putting mushrooms in the same basket as heroine or PCP or meth, you probably shouldn't be in the conversation.

Also, if you're going to completely buy in to what you've learned about drugs from the government's war on drugs, then go ahead and just roll over for everything else the government tells you that you should, or should not be doing. After all, government knows best right?

Lets be intellectually honest here. Responsible adults usually make responsible choices...

You can disapprove but does that mean it should be illegal?

[Gman]

My point was about having people self-medicate vs. true medicine.

Banning anything has never worked. (That hasn't stopped gun control advocates.) However, we lost the ability to keep the government out of our lives since The Whiskey Rebellion. There are laws regarding legal intoxicants, like open container laws, public intoxication, DUI, and DWI. Who wants to carry the torch for decriminalizing those?

Responsible adults are a dying breed. I've put on enough years that I've seen the negatives for the unfettered use of intoxicants. Please list the positives for me.

I would ask you to consider that perhaps this is about people being fed up about being lied to about what certain things do and don't do; and now they are venting their frustrations through the process that was set out for them to do so. I didn't even realize this was on a ballot here.
