Denver considering decriminalizing 'shrooms

[Vosem]

(*The large majority of) psychedelics and (*the large majority of) entactogens are not dangerous drugs and most casualties or serious issues coming from their use are from their being cut with other substances or maliciously mislabeled in a different fashion. Legalization and regulation of these substances will serve only to save lives.

I'm ambivalent about the "legalize all drugs" approach (sure, we'll crush the cartels, but there are some substances truly dangerous enough, like strong opioids or dextromethamphetamine, that it may make sense for them to be illegal outright and not overtly available anywhere), but there's absolutely no reason for magic mushrooms, LSD, or ecstasy to be illegal.
