Activists Take Next Step In Campaign To Legalize Psychedelic Mushrooms In California * 3
    #26403056 - 12/27/19 01:47 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

This is a second ballot initiative for next November's election, from the busy-bees at Decriminalize California. This initiative goes quite a bit further than just decriminalization. It would set up an infrastructure and licensing to support individual and therapeutic use. If one this passes, the dam breaks.

California activists could soon begin collecting signatures for a ballot measure to legalize psilocybin mushrooms in the state.

In an email blast to supporters this month, the group Decriminalize California shared the final language of a proposed initiative that was submitted to the secretary of state’s office following a 30-day public comment period. It will take about two weeks for the attorney general to approve the title, summary and fiscal impact report, after which point signature gathering will commence.

The California Psilocybin Decriminalization Initiative “advances cognitive liberty and implements a comprehensive, statewide scheme authorizing” regulations for the legal cultivation and distribution of psilocybin “for personal, spiritual, religious, dietary, therapeutic, and medical use,” the measure states.

Adults 18 and older would be allowed to possess and cultivate the fungi for personal use under the proposal. The California Department of Food and Agriculture would be responsible for implementing the system, issuing licenses to psilocybin businesses and regulating the market.

The initiative also stipulates that research institutions would be allowed to conduct clinical studies into the therapeutic potential of psilocybin, and licensed healthcare professionals could research and utilize the substance in treatment.

“Psilocybin Mushroom-assisted psychotherapy may be delivered by qualified and licensed practitioners,” it states. “Therapy may be provided by mental health professionals who have obtained specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and a license to administer Psilocybin for specific indications.”

Advocates will need to collect 623,212 valid signatures from registered voters to qualify the initiative for the 2020 ballot, and Decriminalize California is currently seeking volunteer organizers in counties across the state, campaign director Ryan Munevar wrote in the email blast.

If approved by voters, licenses for psilocybin businesses would have to be issued by September 20, 2021. Local jurisdictions would be allowed to opt out of allowing those firms to operate in their areas—but only if “such restriction has been placed on the ballot by petition in accordance with the procedures for an initiative, or by the city council or board of supervisors, and approved by the voters within that jurisdiction at a statewide election held in November.”

Psilocybin used for therapeutic or religious purposes would not be subject to an excise tax.

Individuals who are incarcerated for a psilocybin offense made legal under the measure would be allowed to petition courts for dismissal or resentencing. Those who’ve already served time for such a conviction could petition for their record to be sealed or redesignated as a misdemeanor or infraction.

This isn’t the only ballot initiative that Decriminalize California has filed. Earlier this year, the group submitted a petition to simply decriminalize psilocybin statewide, and they only recently decided to pursue this latest, broader legalization measure after hearing feedback from supporters.

The psychedelics reform movement has propagated rapidly throughout the U.S., with most efforts focused on decriminalization. Denver became the first city in the nation to decriminalize psilocybin in May, and that was followed by a unanimous City Council vote in Oakland to decriminalize a wide-range of psychedelics. A campaign to decriminalize psilocybin in Portland, Oregon was also recently cleared for signature gathering.

Activists in about 100 cities have started the process to get entheogenic substances decriminalized. Oregon advocates are hoping to place a statewide measure to legalize psilocybin for therapeutic use on next year’s ballot, while a separate campaign in the state is aiming to decriminalize possession of all drugs and invest in substance misuse treatment.

The signature gathering process for that latter campaign recently launched.

it's not perfect FOR SURE. Colorado is dope... Cali is my home. good to see shrooms are going to be legal too. Cali is the U.S. version of Amsterdam, or will be. i'm fine with that. no law has ever stopped me from doing as i please anyways. i'm not a slave to dogma because i have a brain and i think with it. laws are for the masses and the masses are generally pretty stupid. And as for right, well i don't need laws to be moral. laws are for the immoral. And as far as guiding future generations. we teach them how to think, not what to think. if you're going to fuck your life up, or make nothing of yourself that's your god damn american right to freedom. you own your body too, so you can do whatever the hell you want with that as well. anyways that's my californicated rant because i'm from Cali. let them eat cake; i don't really give a fuck. 'merica! bitches!

Hail Satan, get sum, and trip responsibly

"who have obtained specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy and a license to administer Psilocybin for specific indications.

This is the part that I think will lead to it being debated as there's no psychedelic administration licence nor is there any sort of framework as far as what that requires. My thoughts are that opponents will push that research is required into how to create framework for assessing for and providing psychedelic therapy license. Hopefully it passes though.
