Exactly, it's also illegal to drink more than a drink or two and drive, yet huge portions of the population do it. It's also technically illegal to smoke and drive yet there's people who do it every single day. People gonna people.

I mean, it hasn't done anything to impact the current amount of fentanyl flooding the country. 7k bags of fentanyl off the streets of hartford is a literal drop in the pan, lol. Country wide no matter how many busts and large scale drug operations we do, the overdose rate and addiction rates continue to soar, people continue to have unfettered access to fentanyl, and we continue to wage a useless war on drugs that's been nothing but an abject failure since the 70s.

Rep. Craig Fishbein, R- Wallingford, said those DUI penalties did little to address roadway fatalities caused by impaired driving. 

“Unfortunately in many of these instances, somebody’s dead and you can’t bring them back,” Fishbein said. “So it’s not solace to me that, ‘Well they’re still going to get arrested for driving under the influence.’”

Well, the most problematic substance by a significant margin is alcohol, yet they don't give a shit about that here.

Just because you're decriminalizing personal amounts of mushrooms doesn't mean people will be buying them to drive on them now, lol. People who consume them now don't care about the legality regardless, and someone irresponsible enough to drive while under the influence of a psychedelic are going to do it regardless of the legal status of said drug. The entire point is to stop legally punishing people for possession of a substance that's less dangerous then many many others and has stated therapeutic effects. Republicans will never get behind this kind of stuff no matter how much it makes sense.
