No idea of the odds of passing, but it'd be amazing to see CT at the forefront of progress

As a person who has never done drugs or hallucinogens, and I have absolutely no interest in them...
All recreational drugs should be legalized, and there should only be laws on them in relation to what you can and cannot do while high. For example, no driving while coked up or hallucinating on some mushrooms.
Other than that, any individual action a man does in the privacy of his own home is their business, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.
Resources should always be made available for addiction just like any other addictions that are legal, such as alcohol or gambling.
I'll never do drugs but I value freedom, and letting values be taught at home rather than the government acting as Mommy and Daddy.
It would be nice to see, though I think too many people don’t understand the mushroom experience and think it’s like LSD, which they also don’t understand.
Yeah that's what I worry about when it comes to this bill. I hope the recent psychedelic assisted therapy press helps with perception
I completely agree with you!
Doubt it will pass, the WASPs are still bugging out about edibles
Let's decriminalize it all. The only way to win this "war on drugs"
If our elected persons had your view, we'd besides have a more booming economy around producing and distribution of these legal substances, make well over what we do in weed taxes, probably multiples. And we'd set the stage as the first actual state to legalize everything recreational and set up places to get it. It's my dream that we set up somewhere or places here to grow, regulate, and distribute coke and mushrooms and lad, even heroin. Besides decreasing overdose rates, we'd control it all, alot of that tax would probably go to recovery efforts and we'd have alot more jobs which we definitely need as a atate
But why tax legalized drugs when they can keep taxing my cars every year 😭
I'd rather lsd tbh, mushrooms I always yack my guts up or atleast feel sick as fuck from them
Considering how late to the game we are with Marijuana, it doesn't seem likely.
Very hard to be bored on mushrooms, imo not possible, took a quarter once, my cats were the funniest things ever lol
Yeah unfortunately I've seen that on my town's FB page
This is the way
Definitely accidentally misread this as “decriminalizing pokemon”
The research involving Psilocybin and depression/PTSD is pretty positive and extensive at this point, I hope it is decriminalized. There are plenty of pretty much harmless hippie types serving MAJOR time in prison for growing mushrooms who should be released or at the very least have their sentences reduced. I'm not saying anyone who's ever sold mushrooms is an angel or anything but it's not exactly dealing fent. Also I don't really like being told what I can put in my own brain but that's just me.
It will happen. Unfortunately CT was behind many other states on weed.
After reading that article it sounds far more likely a few companies who grease the right hands will be granted permission as opposed to state wide decriminalization. Serves me right for reacting to the headline. I guess that's how recreational cannabis dispensaries started so maybe there's reason for optimism
Yeah, tends to start with medical > decrimin > rec.
I'm against taxes as we have the richest govt on earth , but if it was entirely funneled for help to people who are truly addicted I'd be happy w it, I'm a coke guy, did 6 years in prison for it, from 17-23 but I'd honestly rather thar then sending money overseas. Plus we can use it to help our vets who desperately need it, if we aren't caring for them why are we allowing every immigrant to come illegally
Man the day I can walk into a dispo for a gram of coke that's pure made from old school ether, I'd pay 100 easy, esp if that's tax money going to recover or especially our veterans that suffer
Sad part is our country's VA doesn't give a shit my grandpa survived 3 strikes of cancer, between prostate and colon. We do this, and I'd March the atate capitol for ir,, we can save him and men like him. The VA doesn't care. I give him cbd and it helps kill it, made rso for him when he was In chemo the second time. It's really sad how we just condemn our vets to the VA and they should very well get top their treatment as soldiers, they get dog shit
You guys realize how many boomers live in CT right? They’d rather get shipped back To Vietnam then see this
That's a great stance to have. Besides all that, it would also open up the medical research side of things to. It's a shame that the world's oldest medicine and ritualistic substance has been criminalized.
You’re right but my God lol
I believe that's Rick Simpson Oil. Made from marijuana.
Wholly agree. The criminalizing of only certain drugs is intentionally done to feed the prison labor system and withhold care and support from those with mental health disorders. It’s a maddeningly archaic way to run a country, but I suppose as long as it makes the ultra rich even richer it’s unlikely to change.
Why would they rather be in Vietnam than home in CT when they see it pass?
Hell yeah, at least make it easier for trials of micodosing during therapy to treat drug resistant depression and anxiety.
not on my watch
Its the insoluble fiber. Make a tea instead, worked for me. Now if only I could stop it from making my nose run.
Ive seen what these monsters say about Vaporean...
What's harder is catching it high as shit on boomskis
Not to mention testing facilities would massively crack down on fentanyl overdoses.
I think it actually is like LSD, speaking from numerous personal experiences. Actually the science tends to say that too. The two psychoactive drugs actually work on the same chemical pathway in the human body. Side effects are not exactly the same but they're pretty damn close.
You can say that for edibles versus smoking marijuana and they are still two different experiences. My point was your average person has no idea what either are like and in general have an idea regarding LSD based on movies, propaganda, or outlandish ideas of what the experience is.

Psychedelics like mushrooms and lsd being illegal is unconstitutional IMO as it is government restricting the constitutional right to freedom of religion.
A psychedelic experience with spiritual intent brings you closer to "god" than going to church on Sunday.
Use of mushrooms in particular as a religious sacrament dates back thousands of years.
The problem is society as a whole hasn't embraced the concept and taught people that they are a spiritual tool, not just something to do to get high/fucked up.
There are also other legitimate medical uses such as curing alcoholism and treating PTSD, depression. It can help reset your brain/soul and bring you closer to overall well being.

Marijuana and maybe Shrooms?
This should help with the boredom that is always talked about
