Almost 40 years... how sad that the government chose to make such an insightful and harmless substance illegal... Yet Alcohol is ok... Now if I only had stats for death and addiction of "harmless" alcohol. Thanks for the news though; I didn't know.

I'd like to see these statistics on the front page of EVERY newspaper in America. That will never happen thanks to lobbies, christians, and the fact that most media sources today are owned by a few individuals/corporations.

If you don't mind me asking, what type of sentence did you receive for shroom possession and what were the circumstances of your arrest?
