Maryland Republican Rep. Andy Harris says Washington, DC wont decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms, cacti and plants on his watch.
Harris told The Post hes appalled that drug reform activists submitted on Monday what they say is enough signatures to get an initiative on the November ballot making natural hallucinogens the lowest law enforcement priority.
Harris said he will force a House Appropriations Committee vote next week to stop it, using the power of Congress over DCs budget.

Harris, an anesthesiologist and top pharmaceutical industry donation recipient, represents Marylands eastern shore and has battled local drug reform activists for years. After 65 percent of DC residents voted in 2014 to legalize marijuana, he wrote a budget rider thats still in effect preventing DC from regulating recreational pot stores.
Yep, can't allow anything to happen that might cut into ol boy's big pharma gravy train.

Maybe D.C. would be better off if residents were allowed to watch candles drip all day?

Maybe you should quit reading lamestream media crap and do some actual research. Andy Harris is one of the good guys.

I thought psychedelics were required there.
In the Congressional cafeterias mushroom soup is a favorite on the menu, where psychedelic mushrooms the main ingredient.

‘what would prevent people from using hallucinogens, getting behind the wheel of a car and killing people?’
Um, the continued illegality of DUI and manslaughter?
What a stupid c**t.

The cactus that grows in the desert and that people cut open to drink is a psychedelic?

It’s a particular cacti called peyote, actually a small ‘button’ of the peyote cacti.

According to some, the purpose of this forum is to march in lockstep and dismiss inconvenient facts as ‘fake news.’

I think you need to keep that old Timothy Leary quote at the ready, since it applies to most hallucinogens:
LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it.
