Government be like: “maybe we should give people psychedelic mushrooms for their mental health? I heard it on a podcast, it will probably work.”
AP:
Drug reform advocates hailed Oregon as a progressive leader when it became the first in the nation to legalize the therapeutic use of psilocybin, the compound found in psychedelic mushrooms.But four years later, voters in a growing list of its cities have banned the substance.
Four cities, spanning Portland suburbs and rural and coastal towns, added new voter-approved prohibitions for the federally illegal compound in the Nov. 5 election. A dozen other communities that approved two-year moratoriums in 2022, when a majority of Oregon counties and over 100 cities voted to temporarily or permanently ban psilocybin, voted in this election to make the restrictions permanent.
In the wake of the fentanyl crisis, the rejection of drug liberalization measures in Oregon and states across the country this election has some experts questioning whether voters are rethinking their appetite for such policies.
You would have to assume so.
In Massachusetts, for example, voters rejected a measure that would have allowed residents over 21 to grow and use plant-based psychedelic drugs in certain circumstances. All three states that had measures to legalize recreational marijuana voted against it.Oregon voters, in particular, appear to have soured on drug reform. A law passed by voters four years ago that decriminalized the possession of small amounts of hard drugs, including heroin and methamphetamine, was rolled back by the state legislature earlier this year after heated debate over whether it played a role in a spike in public drug use and deaths.
How would legalizing drugs not increase use?
What sort of retard would this not be obvious to?
“Perhaps the fact that the drug policy reform pendulum appears to be swinging back towards prohibition is part of a broader trend toward a preference for ‘law and order’ among American voters,” said Josh Hardman, founder of Psychedelics Alpha, a consulting firm and newsletter on psychedelic research, business and policy. “Oregon, specifically, has been touted as an example of liberal drug policies gone wrong.”
That’s exactly what is happening. America is doing a full-swing back to conservatism. America does everything in extremes, so this is likely to be an extreme swing.
The woke stuff was so extreme, and left such a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, that this kind of swing was inevitable.
Honestly, I’m not even sure psychedelic mushrooms are that big of a deal, but as stated above, people are reacting to the legalization of marijuana and hard drugs and the terrible effects of that.
“Switch” as he goes by on the streets, says he specifically came to #Portland, Oregon, all the way from Indiana, because Measure 110 allowed him to do drugs, openly, without consequence.

Shocking video from Portland shows homeless addicts roaming the streets.
Oregon became the first state in the USA to decriminalize the possession of small quantities of all illicit drugs in 2021.

The youth, which has been raised on woke garbage since they were suckling babes, is going to be at the forefront of pushing back against this gay, feminism, anti-white, junkie agenda.
The Democrats are all now saying that they went too far with weird tranny shit everyone hates. They aren’t even talking about the “defund the police” shit they pushed. Kamala Harris’ entire campaign was based on “law and order” and closing the border, with the only real leftist policies she promoted being abortion and endless war.
All of these left policies have created a dystopian hellscape where people have neither freedom nor safety, and it was just obvious that the population would not tolerate this state forever.
The swing back is going to be epic.
