It may not change anything but it will at least show that we care about the decriminalization of these substances!

Why are there so few signatures on this petition? It was created almost a month ago. It shouldn't be hard to find 100,000 people willing to sign a petition like this every month. There are probably half a dozen other petitions just like this one. We should organize a message tree so that everyone is signing the same petition at the same time.

Math:
For a tree with branching ratio N (each limb branches into N limbs), there are (N^L-1)/(N-1) limbs at the Lth level. To be conservative, let's say that each person in the tree can only find 2 people to message; How many levels would be required to reach 100,000? (2^L-1)/(2-1)=100,000 -> 2^L=100001 -> L=16. Only 16 levels are required. Why has this not been done yet? It assumes that we all know two other unique psychonauts who are reliable, and that may be a big assumption.

Psychonaut (potentially admitting illegal drug use) + Giving real Name to Authorities + IP Address (potentially) = PRFD (potential recipe for disaster)/NOPL (name on permanent list)

P+Na+IP=PRFD/NOPL

I am not surprised at all that these petitions are not full.

Risk of persecution is quite a deterrent.

If we let others walk on us and oppress our values, then we are already being persecuted. All worthwhile things are worth fighting for. If we are not willing to at least be publicly honest about who we are and what values we support, then those values will continue to be oppressed indefinitely.

Look at what is happening with marijuana in the past decade: This type of political revolution does not occur if nobody is willing to risk persecution. I also think it's absurd to say that signing this petition assumes any actual risk.

Yea it is unfortunate a lot of people don't sign out of fear.

Signed, however, I see petitions like this once every few months (I started one even: got two signatures ), however, I'm pretty sure these things are useless beyond making a statement.
The White House is not obligated to do anything with a petition, so even if we get 100,000 signatures (which none ever have), it's still probably falling on deaf ears.

Personally, I'm hunkered down for the long hall. Growing entheogens allows us to use them safely in a way that minimizes legal risk, and that's where I think we'll be staying for a couple of years.

The tide is turning, but it's a large enough tide that I really see no available action other than to go with the flow and try and make do the best I can.

This change of view on marijuana is setting up the perfect stage for psychedelic users. Once it has gained majority understanding, our push to put certain psychedelics into the same light wont need to be that strong. I think the need for harm reduction and the proof that such a thing is possible (harm reduction equaling safe use) is the final swing that will get it legalized in a safe and quick way.

Less is known to the rest of the world about psychedelics than about marijuana. The recent research on psychedelics is riding on the tail end of the marijuana legalization movement. This will go hand in hand I think. What we need IMO is to start the medical psychedelic program just like it was done for medical marijuana. With the recent studies showing certain psychedelics as major breakthroughs in treatment for certain conditions I don't see this as being very difficult. BUT, it would need to be treated differently I think.

Instead of just dispensaries and doctors prescribing a medical card, we need treatment centers/dispensaries setup to show users proper care and harm reduction (much like this website already does) and doctors to prescribe medical cards for people with certain conditions to visit these places.

Anyone with information on how this could get started, or how we could build the infrastructure to start such a movement please PM me. I am currently in a situation where I "might" be able to help begin such a treatment center in the future but no idea where to start to try and get the idea into movement in the same way medical marijuana was.
