Psychedelics will be mainstream in our lifetimes. It's going to be beautiful. It's going to help heal so many people.

I'm happy our state is doing its part to make this a reality.

Fantastic.

Mushrooms are why I'm not yet another veteran suicide statistic

love it. hurry up. support this across the board but especially medically- there are a lot of people with various PTSD scenarios who may be averse to various pharmaceutical options that a controlled setting and dose or series could really help 🙏🏽

There's little that unites the likes of AOC, Gaetz, Crenshaw, Rick Perry together.. psychedelic-assisted therapy is one of those issues. I'm very hopeful it will happen. I believe treating veteran/first-responder PTSD will lead the way.

Absolutely. Too many people suffer with ptsd and trauma while being pigeonholed by our broken mental health system. I’m glad we’re on the right track to completely legalizing this phenomenal natural medicine.

Ok, but they're not part of the lawmaking process as far as I know. I suppose they are just voting on whether to bring it to the floor for a vote in the first place.

These committees are useless in my opinion. If you have a bill , you should be able to introduce it and let people vote on it. I mean, that is their job after all.

Oh well, I'm certainly no political authority. Just someone that knows a committee doesn't have to be part of the law making process.

Yeah, but sense isn't what people are looking for. So when this leads nowhere, people get to complain more and that's really what they want.

If you're going to decriminalize one major psychedelic, I think it should be LSD. But a W is a W

Always wanted to try mushrooms but I never have anyone that I trust to do them around

HEY!

Remember how they used to call Connecticut "The Nutmeg State"? I have an idea for a new name to bring the state renewed social media clout.

I'm not in favor of legalizing drugs but criminalizing simple possession of mushrooms is pretty ridiculous. I'm fully in favor of this bill.

Your values oppose eachother. You cannot say you don't want drugs legalized and then at the same time say you think possession should not be a crime. The only way to make anything not a crime is to legalize it.the only way to make anything illigal is to write it into law and criminalize it.....you cannot act like there is no answer when there is one right infront of you.

I don't want people to go to jail for possessing something but I don't want them to legally sold.

Like alcohol hasn't been humanity's soma for millenia. At least now people who don't want to kill their livers won't have their life ruined by smoke a joint or eating some shrooms.
