Mushrooms grow on our decaying city, thanks to Democrats

“When weed got legal, mushrooms took its place.”

So spoke A, one of the psilocybin salesmen now plaguing Washington Square Park, and you couldn’t ask for a better illustration of the ugly drug dynamic that now dominates in the Big Apple.

That is: Lefty lawmakers push for decriminalization and then legalization of illicit substances.

The resulting small-scale social decay adds to burdens faced by our already overworked law enforcement and other social-service systems.

Progressives then demand more loosening and absurd remedies like “harm reduction” for the consequences of the drug use and addiction they foster.

Lather, rinse, repeat.

It’s just a little weed, whine Democrats (and some Republicans). What’s the harm?

Aside from the fact that new data demonstrates beyond any doubt that cannabis use can cause mental illness in the long run, the harm is precisely what A so helpfully outlined.

Once a city moves the legal goalposts for what counts as an illegal drug, small-time crooks will immediately read this as a cue to take a mile instead of the inch they were offered.

Legalize it and tax the shit out of it IMO. And I hate pot.
