“Magic mushrooms” may soon become legal in Oregon, where even powerful politicians seem high — on the idea, according to a report.
The state’s attorney general green-lit language allowing the bill to hit the ballots in 2020, assuming advocates get enough signatures, according to Oregonlive.com
If it passes, the initiative would decriminalize hallucinogenic mushrooms and allow them to be manufactured with a license. Oregon would become the first US state to legalize the drug.
The bill will need 140,000 signatures in order to appear on the ballots in the 2020 general election, the paper reported.
Nationwide, possession of psychedelic mushrooms — and their active compound, psilocybin — is a felony. But advocates say the trippy treat can help boost spirituality, fight depression and even help terminally ill patients cope with death.
“The intent of the 2020 Psilocybin Service Initiative of Oregon is to advance a breakthrough therapeutic model currently being perfected in research settings at top universities around the world,” Tom and Sheri Eckert, who are leading the petition, wrote on the campaign’s website.
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum declined to comment to the paper.

It's absolutely ludicrous to criminalize the possession of one of God's own creations—in this case a certain type of mushroom.
Any government that can outlaw nature wields—for all intents and purposes—arbitrary power over its denizens.
Legislative and/or bureaucratic excesses—whether democratically supported or not—don't trump Natural Rights...

To the stoner crowd all drugs must be legal.

LOL.......... coffee get's me so wired that I can't really drink it. "High" .... whatever that means. But some nice clean 'shrooms were cool.
Sorry, it is GATEWAY. Your overwhelming love for dope is on display. I have yet to see the wonders of daily dope use except extreme sloth by young people I worked with.
According to the DEA, the drug N, N-dimethyltryptamine, or DMT
I am saying that Liberals have no idea where they are heading when they take psilocybin, LSD, or DMT.
If you will read what I said, you will see that I never said Oregon should not legalize magic mushrooms. I just said that Liberals take drugs to avoid reality and to self-medicate.
I actually hope Oregon does legalize psilocybin. It will be interesting to see what happens.
Thx. I will check it out.
In 1915, Coca-Cola contained actual cocaine.
“Liberals want the populace doped up and off kilter.
May I add: Zonked-out, immobile people are easy to conquer.
Time to buy Cheetos stock.
How is this not medical tyranny?
Some poor people with suicide inducing migraines actually use these for relief. Should we criminalize gasoline because idiots use it to get high too?
Your words display a dope.
"I have yet to see the wonders of daily dope use except extreme sloth by young people I worked with." ----
You apparently have a sad, limited exposure to drug use.
" "I have yet to see the wonders of daily dope use.." ---- I never ever alluded to "daily dope use".

You needn't go on any further. By the way, I hope you got a different job.

I'm not trying to rain on any parade, but isn't marijuana known for the munchies?
I took LSD dozens of times way back when and I never got the munchies.
Marijuana --- some times for sure.

Well, it had to be banned because people were getting addicted to it. So yeah, gateway.
I don’t like it when a doper pipsqueak basically tells me to shut up. I don’t take orders from someone with only a little elbow grease.
Seems you are on a dope high now. Dope
Big Beautiful Snowflakes,,,
