Just weeks after denver decriminalizes magic mushrooms, lawmakers in Oakland are set to a schedule Psychedelic Decriminalization Hearing calling for an end to arrests and prosecutions of people for possessing additional psychedelic drugs such as mescaline cacti, ayahuasca and ibogaine. https://www.forbes.com/s...n-oakland/#c6ce4b867639

Indeed the world is changing. It's interesting to me how this is playing out. After decades of vivisection, maneuvering around profitability and now involving corporate interests, it almost seems like the things MAPS has done are almost irrelevant and seem pretty off base-at least as far as aligning itself with the community and the disdain it has for corporate medicine. The people are taking it into their own hands, which makes me wonder v how many missteps we've made on this path towards legitimacy. Maybe we didn't have to get military funding for MDMA PTSD studies, maybe there was no need for non-racemic ketamine, maybe there's no reason for COMPASS to exist. IDK, just sitting here thinking...

Overall good news, I believe. I wonder, though, where DMT possession and extraction will fall... from ‘natural’ sources, and potentially extracted with ‘natural’ solvents (d-limo etc - though I do take issue with the term ‘natural’, but that’s another discussion.) Ayahuasca is an extraction with water, but how will extractions with hydrocarbon solvents be viewed? Just a query.  Many gray areas to be clarified, but great first steps, I believe. I hope a movement like this takes hold in Canada soon. JBArk JBArk is a Mandelthought; a non-fiction character in a drama of his own design he calls "LIFE" who partakes in consciousness expanding activities and substances; he should in no way be confused with SWIM, who is an eminently data-mineable and prolific character who has somehow convinced himself the target he wears on his forehead is actually a shield.

Very cool. The resolution is under consideration now. Here is an interview posted today, https://www.kqed.org/for...g-psychedelic-mushrooms
Hoping nature prevails over our disfunctional culture of prohibition.

Thank you wise council of Oakland for standing with nature and for what is an ancient fundamental human personal right.
