Decriminalize Psychedelic Plants & Fungi in San Francisco Sign this petition to tell the San Francisco Board of Supervisors that it's time to decriminalize psychedelic plants and fungi. Already Denver and Oakland have passed decriminalization legislation, and Berkeley is aiming to hold their final vote by December, 2019. It's time San Francisco, the birthplace of the psychedelic revolution, become a leader in standing for justice, nature and public health. A growing body of scientific research is proving what indigenous people have known for millenia, entheogenic plants and mushrooms (e.g. Ayahuasca and Psilocybin) are: - Not addictive - Can be beneficial for easing depression and PTSD - Low risk for physical harm and toxicity - Can confer varied health, mental and spiritual benefits And yet the city of San Francisco still prosecutes the cultivation and growth of these plants and fungi. It's time for San Francisco to decriminalize nature.
Quote by Ayn Rand “There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.”
Nature is not illegal. Somehow that mushroom grew in the ground. I hate to agree with a quote from her but drugs and traffic fines are how most of us are "criminals". We never murdered anyone we simply went 10 MPH over or ate what grows in the dirt.
If it makes sense, it makes sense. I think we all benefit from a diverse collection of sources. However, I'm not interested in anything by David Duke or Louis Farrakhan.
