Billionaire Shroomer Wants to Help the Homeless
    #28287216 - 04/20/23 06:43 PM (9 months, 3 days ago)

I have a friend who has somewhat recently become a billionaire. He wants to allocate some cash to help end homelessness. He is looking to me for some creative ideas.

I told him I know a guy who was homeless until someone gave him a small bag of mushrooms. He said he ate the whole bag, and then the next day he got up, went and took a shower, went and got a job, and that was the end of him being homeless. He said now he likes to give mushrooms to homeless people because it's about the only thing that has a chance to actually help them.

Granted, that crusade to help the homeless won't necessarily be 1000% fantastic for the schizophrenics, but it's a step in the right direction. I'm hoping to augment that plan with some other ideas.

I'm thinking maybe we could have an application process with some screening for suitability, and then buy the qualified candidates a bus ticket to a therapy clinic in Denver where they can have a healing journey (or a few), career training, and 90 days' free room & board in a decent neighborhood.

But I'm unsure.

you want to send a bus load to Denver for therapy?
I guess your billionaire friend was a bit of a loner.


maybe check this out,

it's a more realistic approach that would need coordination with city hall, but might be good.

Those look great. The only obstacle is a large-scale effort to distribute mushrooms in legal jurisdictions that are still categorizing them like meth and heroin.

An innovative legal approach is needed for handling this as harm reduction along with homelesness management and a solution with no dire financial impact upon the city. Maybe by defining a new jurisdiction layer.

This can be done by creating an inverted air rights nation within a nation, and a treaty becomes applicable under bridges, i.e. forming an under bridge nation with limited civic policing as part of the home-bridge-treaty within the nation of cities.

Some laws will not be applicable under the treaty, the police will look the other way, but they will still have jurisdiction over traffic, kidnapping, murder etc., just not vice.

It is important to build bridges to benefit all sides of the population.

What?  If you're going to do that, why not start with the thousands of homeless people already in Denver?

You wake up. The room is spinning very gently round your head. Or at least it would be if you could see it which you can't.
It is pitch black.

A full time staff person to administrate the program is a necessity. The more experience they have, the better! No reason to face a learning curve when someone else has already done it.

Gotta start somewhere.

Are you in Denver? There is an application process, which you'll have to submit to the social worker.

Anywhere that mushrooms are legal might be easier.

What you are looking for is a pan national or even international legal non-compliance on several levels.

Leave Denver aside, unless it isn't really about the homeless and it's just about having something to spread psilocybin upon.

but if you have a good scheme, like the bridge housing for non-paying guests, which is already not in keeping with any known legal prescriptions except for loosely extended family co-habitation, then we need to consider a general legal non-compliance approach.

non-compliant
with zoning, with building codes, with health departments, and with drug laws, but satisfactory for the homeless element.

Here is an example of potential underbridge - here consider upper levels Like an airport hotel and maybe restaurants and offices; and implement the miracle for the homeless at lower levels, both get an excellent view, and it can be financially sustainable.
