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.

Decriminalize Psychedelic Plants & Fungi in San Francisco

 

Where on earth do you get the idea that it's "Not Addictive"?

Addiction is a condition of the mind, it's not about what you ingest.

People can be addicted to sex and gambling too. But they aren't ingesting anything to deal with their needs.

Consider also the over-used term "Physical Addiction" which is a mashing of two actual terms, Addiction and physical dependence. These are not the same phenomenon. Physical dependence is not the same as addiction.

I appreciate your campaign, but claims about anything being "not addictive" opens up a discussion you really don't need to promote this. If anything hallucinogens might be an effective treatment for addiction, if only to break the craving cycle for a while. Unfortunately trying to convey that message is very difficult. Everyone will want to know "how to YOU know?" and shit like that.
