Denver could become the first US city to decriminalize magic mushrooms

By Mallory Hughes, CNN

(CNN)The Mile High City might be getting a whole lot higher.
An advocacy group has collected nearly 9,500 signatures to get a measure on the ballot in May that would decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms in Denver.

While the Denver Elections Division has yet to verify the signatures, the issue is sure to sprout some debate.
"We want people kept out of prison, families kept together," said Kevin Matthews, the campaign director of Decriminalize Denver. "That was the main motivation for this."

It's not just for "religious purposes" in Denver.

Thankfully, I have no reason to visit Denver (or it's stoned motorists).

Saw this a couple nights ago on FB with people claiming they need it to fight depression and anxiety.

Legalizing pot started a very slippery slope as it will be elsewhere pot becomes legalized and decriminalized.

The pro drug folks wont stop at weed...and the Dems will be all for it in any state it's proposed because they want their voters stoned so they don't care what the they do at the state house or in DC.

It isn't just opiates that are the opiates of the masses. SOMA from Brave New World....

I guess marijuana really is a gateway drug.... (as if there was any doubt).

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

For travelers, just another reason to take an I-40 detour around  CO to avoid the trippers.
