Connecticut is just barely getting recreational weed shops open while some areas of the country have already legalized recreational psychedelics like psylocibin and DMT.

The state is so unbearably slow with everything.

Maybe at some point in the future we can get someone who isn't a fucking retirement age boomer to lead the state.

I think Lamont is doing a fine job and helping to right the ship that was very off course but I am so tired of exclusively old men leading the show.

Let's get some young blood in there and more progressive thinkers who can push this stuff faster than other states. It has a significant effect on our state's profitability.

Small correction: no states have fully legalized shrooms or DMT yet. 2 states I believe have decriminalized the possession of small amounts of shrooms, but not legal yet.

I thought Oregon did.

I know Colorado is decrim for sure. But decrim is always the initial step, then recreational follows. Because you know, tax revenue 🙂

You need to be wealthy and well connected to get into politics at the state level. Young people simply lack the connections that elderly people have made through the years.

That's the problem. That's the way the system currently is setup but it doesn't work for the people. Well, it works. But barely and people are starting to see that there are some very serious flaws in our state, our country and the government's that run each.
