Mushroom decriminalization

Are there any efforts being made to decriminalize mushroom usage. Any online petitions? The penalties for being caught are just crazy.

None that I'm aware of. It seems like everything is geared towards legalizing pot with mushrooms never being brought up. Maybe once pot is legal the masses and governments will be much more open to legalizing shrooms and all other plant/fungus/bark materials.

MAPS is working on making psilocybin available by prescription.
I don't anyone is putting any effort into decriminalization or legalization these days. Small steps first...
There aren't many organizations dedicated to legalizing all drugs. The Drug Policy Alliance may be the only one. Maybe LEAP.

Perhaps "efforts" are being made. They are quite far from being A reality at this point.

How can we change this? Obviously there are legitimate reasons that all psychedelics should not be a class I drug such as they have been found to aid in treatment of addiction, cluster headaches, ptsd, and stuff like that. Those are legitimate medical purposes. I think a lot can be learned from the marijuana reform movement. How could we take the methods they've used and apply them here? I'm waiting for a day where a marijuana dispensary is a "natural medicine dispensary" and you can get not just mj but a variety of entheogens and other natural medicines.
Even so though, the marijuana reform movement has yet to advance to the place of decriminalization/legalization, except for in a select few places. How can we change this as well?

This is the best anyone is currently doing. You have to think of the reason to do it. MAPS is supplying a medical reason, which is key. Spiritual reasons are garbage to the US Government, no matter what you believe. It's a sad thing, but it's how the US works.
