Amazing work there. Full Decrim and therapeutic use of mushrooms.
And Dc decriminalized mushrooms.

#6I really wish there were also laws about not doing it in public spaces. I don't care if people do it in their own spaces, but when the smell wafts out onto the sidewalk, it makes me nauseous.

#7I think it would make a fascinating poli sci case study about why almost all cannabis legalization came from popular referendum instead of legislation.
What is it about cannabis that makes it so much more amenable to direct democracy compared to representative democracy. Polls show that overwhelming majorities in most states support legalization. Yet elected representative have been extremely reticent to move policy in that direction. Two thirds of Americans support legalization, yet neither of the major party candidates for president do.

Every legal state I know of has laws around outlawing public consumption.

At least it isn't hazardous like cigarette smoke.
I really wish cigarettes were completely banned in public spaces. If you want to destroy your own lungs on your own property, fine. But I shouldn't have to breath it in.
