Research isn't enough, we also need to fight for it. There are already mountains of evidence, yet progress on legalisation is excruciatingly slow.
We need campaigns, we need to raise our voices. And we need to make sure that once it gets legalised, psychedelic medicine isn't just for those who have lots of money but for everyone who needs it.

We also need to fight for the rights that psychedelics aren’t just for those with certain conditions. They should be available for wellness for everyone.
Fortunately there is momentum. States and cities are decriminalizing them. Hopefully the cannabis model paves the way to make the psychedelic revolution to unfold much more quickly.

That's the beauty of the nature of psychedelics. They are so powerful, and cheap to produce! It's a certain brand of person who generally grows mushrooms, and they are often distributed free of charge.
Government is always miles behind science. It's a real problem, because technology is rapidly changing and growing, but the ability of our social institutions to react and evolve with the times is insufficient. Drastic changes to a country's legal structure can have potentially disastrous downstream effects, which is why we have checks and balances to slow the process, but that often leads to stagnation.
Governing requires real wisdom, and that's not what you often get. How many Abraham Lincolns actually get elected.
If legalization does happen, I would truly hate to see big money get involved and take over, cornering the market, etc... but that is the nature of things in this Capitalistic world, and I don't know a way around it.

Around here, where medical and recreational cannabis are both legal. There is a thriving market here with people growing for patients and care providers. It’s not all big money. But scaling up is the capitalist way.

When mushrooms become legal there will be shitty pharmaceutical companies trying to sell you a joyless derivative compound that helps but won’t get you tripping, there will be stores that sell you poorly dried fruits and processed products that work ok for a markup, and there will be individuals who grow and sell their own.
It will all coexist. Just like in the cannabis business.

I'm not going to lie... I paid my way through college growing LARGE quantities of mushrooms. I'm on the fence about legalization, because it has been a serious source of income for me in the past, even though I sold them at rock bottom prices, and often gave them away for free.
At the end of the day, law abiding citizens do deserve the chance to experience the wonders of hallucinogens, so I am onboard with legalization. Growing mushrooms for a living felt like a public service to me, as opposed to say, making meth. I felt good about what I was doing, I enjoyed doing it thoroughly, and it brought many people joy. Win-win-win-win!
I wish hallucinogens were called something else though. They don't always cause hallucinations, and I would argue that for most people, smaller doses would probably provide a preferable experience. At the ~1g dosage range of normal cubes (Not PE), the trip is generally fairly mild, giggly, and just enjoyable. I liken it to viewing the world from the perspective of a young child. It can be very refreshing.</font>
