Reply to comment by SparrowAgnew in We need your help getting psilocybin medicine legalized in Washington! by woody_DD11

Having a sober stranger observing me while experiencing the effects of psilocybin sounds like a recipe for a negative experience. I’d rather my elected officials recognize that they have no business controlling my body or mind, but I guess this is a step in the right direction.

What a strange time we live in that our state legislature is simultaneously ignoring explicit rights protected by the federal and state constitutions while proposing legislation that blatantly ignores the federal governments laws on controlled substances. Wild.

I totally get it. Remember, we had medical marijuana before it was legal too.

But in many states once marinol came out they did away with any plans for legalization cuz they could point to it and say “there you go, it has all the same effects but without giving you reefer madness or distrusting our supply of slaves”

You can read the bill here. It doesn't do that. At all.

And here we stand with talk of federal cannabis legalization.

Yeah “services” lol aka hokey bullshit that you can’t use insurance on and they charge a ton of money for.

How much is an hour of standard counseling…… now multiply that by 8 minimum and you should start to see what I mean.

As someone who would love to provide that service, I would strive to make it as affordable as possible. I want to help people more than I want to get rich. If I can make as much as I make as a full time RN and pay a solid wage to any employees, I would be fine.

Imagine saying that with weed, it’s a fucking joke to do this special-interests-only version of legalization. We don’t need daddy government looking over our shoulders like we’re misbehaving children.

I’ll take the black market 10/10 over this bill and hope it doesn’t pass. It’s just like the Ohio weed bill.
