Denver is the country’s first city to de-prioritize enforcement of the hallucinogen.

“WE WON!!!!” announced Decriminalize Denver after city elections officials released final preliminary results late Wednesday. The measure, 301, passed with 50.56% in favor to 49.44% opposed, a slim margin that is nevertheless outside the mandatory recount margin.

“It’s a signal to the rest of the country that at least here in Denver we are ready to start remove some of these substances off the controlled substances list,” said Kevin Matthews, 33, who organized the decriminalization campaign. “A lot of people who signed our petition said they are tired to see people going to jail over what they choose to put in their body.”

Advocates say the mushrooms, which contain the hallucinogen psilocybin, have been used for thousands of years and may provide an alternative treatment for opiate addiction and mental health troubles, as well as spiritual insight. Users report bright lights and colors and a sense of connection with something greater than themselves.

Way to go Denver, now if only the rest of the country would catch up to your insight into the uses of the drug, and keeping more people out of jail for merely trying them.

Happiest town in the USA

The 'war on drugs' is a winless battle, a smart person realizes this and refocuses on battles more important.

And thus the slippery slope begins. Good luck.

Denver voters consider the next frontier in decriminalizing drugs: magic mushroomsMuch as they did for marijuana, activists are touting the potential medical benefits of psilocybin to win public acceptance for a drug known more for its recreational use. Just going to become a big country of druggie losers eh... with the government funding it. Fabulous. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Denver will look like San Fran. Drug induced bodies crowding the sidewalks. Pretty soon our Country will look like night of the living dead . Proud to be an American will take on a whole slogan. One pill makes you stronger, the other makes you taller — can we please bring back Fen Phen! I have thirty pounds to lose by Friday. 😳

Denver voters to decide legalizing 'magic mushrooms'Denver is deciding whether to become the first U.S. city to decriminalize the use of psilocybin, the psychedelic ingredient in 'magic mushrooms.' Now we're actually going to need self driving cars. Well I guess a city that voted for Herr Trump is working to form by decriminalising a drug which causes temporary insanity. And even if I am mistaken and you did not vote for Herr Trump my latter point remains valid.
