I hope this won't be similar to decriminalizing weed where people assumed it's also fine to drive while high :/

#23Probably 95% of people can handle psychedelics. That last 5% are not going to handle psychedelics well. I'm talking about the people on Market and 6th with schizophrenia.

Are you saying taking psychadelics makes you a degenerate? If so, why do you think so?

Ending the WoD prohibition and decriminalization is the way to go to stop incarcerating poor and minorities, ending violence in many countries, and decriminalizing personal choices.
PS: Ketamine, acid, and shrooms are on my bucket list.

The drug problem isn't with psychedelics. If you think "drugs is drugs" - then reconsider.

#29A very significant result for drug policy modernization efforts everywhere. California is larger than many countries. Policymakers and politicians will be looking at the results of this change with great interest as they contemplate the risks and benefits of such a move in their own jurisdictions. If things goes broadly without incident (as I bet they will), then Prohibitionists will have less ammunition against poli…

Ah, that would explain it.
I was recently surprised to learn about how big of an industry already exists around ketamine therapy. A search in your area (if in the US) would likely turn up several clinics nearby. Bay Area: https://bit.ly/2S3VNjW Austin: https://bit.ly/3ccj2zk
Oh awesome. I'm in ATX and have treatment-resistant depression (tried 15 meds) likely from chronic sleep deprivation (sleep apnea).
If anyone knows a dope (no pun intended) psychiatrist for general purposes in ATX, I could use contact info.
