Magic mushrooms may soon become legal in Oregon, where even powerful politicians seem high on the idea, according to a report.
The states attorney general green-lit language allowing the bill to hit the ballots in 2020, assuming advocates get enough signatures, according to Oregonlive.com
If it passes, the initiative would decriminalize hallucinogenic mushrooms and allow them to be manufactured with a license. Oregon would become the first US state to legalize the drug.
The bill will need 140,000 signatures in order to appear on the ballots in the 2020 general election, the paper reported.
Nationwide, possession of psychedelic mushrooms and their active compound, psilocybin is a felony. But advocates say the trippy treat can help boost spirituality, fight depression and even help terminally ill patients cope with death.
The intent of the 2020 Psilocybin Service Initiative of Oregon is to advance a breakthrough therapeutic model currently being perfected in research settings at top universities around the world, Tom and Sheri Eckert, who are leading the petition, wrote on the campaigns website.
Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum declined to comment to the paper.

It’s a slippery slope with dope.
Make millions by opening up a marijuana dispensary. Hard to get a licence on that from I understand. But here is the kicker. Open up up a tattoo parlor next to it. These stoners are addicted to getting new tattoos.
PATHETIC! But is a business plan.
I hear $2 million minimum capitalization to even be considered for a dispensary here.
Any reading of Ezekiel and you have GOT to wonder if he was tripping. There’s quite a bit of evidence to indicate this stuff might have been associated with Christianity.
Who knows if Thomas Merton didn’t partake in a bit of this?
Read The Seven Storey Mountain.
I love the thread a little elbow grease has started here. I’m curious.

Could You See the sounds?
How about Taste the Colors?
The con trails of a jet
Over head that could RIP
The sky open like a
Zipper on a Fat kid,,,

Snowflakes,
Never seen a Snowflake,sorry.
What was your "trip" like?
How about the entire ground beneath Your
Feet becoming inverted pyramids
and Your own feet become the shape
That fits into pattern as
You walked along!
Pack a comb?
Substance: The onus is on you to document this huge block of conservative dopers you posit.
I think the food expert Michael Pollan has written a recent book on it and there are sites discussing it. I dont know too much about it. The doses are so tiny the people actually go about their normal day. I would like to learn more, myself, out of curiosity. I wont be trying it.
“And no, there is no onus.”
Spoken like the true liberal. Present your fantasy and claim no need to back it with anything real.
Spoken like a true old crank who can’t be bothered to read anyone’s posting history. You’re utterly set in your ways and just cannot step outside of them to see how you’re coming across. You’re worse than unpersuasive, you’re off-putting. That’s the only way to put it.
Here’s an article on it from Scientific American, which is unfortunately no longer a bastion of objectivity and is now political and left. Still, it’s better than most.

I think a quote from a major proponent of it sums things up well:
It sharpens all the senses, as if the frequencies of all of your atoms and energy field are raised a little bit and are being slightly more conscious,
This is a guy who definitely feels the tingle up his leg over Obama.
The tests weren’t designed very well and didn’t even necessarily find any differences.
Note how the proponents and participants were already big hallucinogenic drug boosters in the first place.
As far as the idea that it could alleviate depression, to me that seems feasible in that the mechanism would be similar to already existing anti-depressants which increase serotonin levels in the brain. Psilocin is a serotonin agonist, it acts on serotonin receptors, mimicking an increase of serotonin in the brain by introducing the drug which acts like serotonin.
I think if this approach were to be taken there are better compounds out there to act as the artificial serotonin than psilocin.
All you do is ad hominem.
You’re projecting.
All you do is repeat bromides from Reefer Madness.
You’re regurgitating.
Reefer Madness well pre-dated Wasson finding the “magic mushroom” and the influx of hallucinogenic drugs in to the general public.
