Boo. Everyone boo this man.
HAVE YOU SUCKED DICK FOR COKE???
RIP Bob Saget
While it remains illegal on the state and national level, some cities in California have already decriminalized. San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Santa Cruz. Come take your next trip in the Bay area!
Signs a few good things, vetoes a few good things
Why can’t we just get a solidly good governor for a while and not one that oscillates between “ok enough” and “frustrating”
At least there are periods of “ok enough”. We’re stuck with Eric Adams the landlord cop in NYC

Newsom supporting the war on drugs. 🤢
Gavin Newsom failed America by vetoing that bill.
Damn, he’s just been vetoing everything lately. Gotta love that race toward the centre.
Newsom’s “centrist” tribute to the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein.
Goddammit
“Advocates are attempting to place two initiatives to expand psychedelic use on the November 2024 ballot. One would legalize the use and sale of mushrooms for people 21 and older”
FYI that’s Decriminalize California and their signature collection campaign is in full swing. https://decrimca.org/
Letting perfect be the enemy of good… again.
Gavin Newsom, corporate whore, wannabe esq
Dammit
Just grow them yourself it’s easy enough
Yeah yeah, we know. It’s also illegal, which means there are real nasty consequences for getting caught with them. Decriminalizing them would have reduced those real nasty consequences and made it much simpler to grow and possess your own.
Somebody fixing up their PTSD doesn’t need the fuzz coming down on them, regardless of how easy it is to grow the treatment.
Neither does someone who just wants to trip balls because that’s what they want to do this weekend.
I mean is it? Tbh it sounds like a nightmare trying to keep everything at the right temp and from contaminating.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Federal Drug Administration designated psilocybin as a “breakthrough therapy” for treatment-resistant depression in 2019 and recently published a draft guideline on using psychedelics in clinical trials.
“Psilocybin gave me my life back,” Joe McKay, a retired New York City firefighter who responded to the 9/11 attacks, said at an Assembly hearing in July.
“We’re grateful that Governor Newsom listened to some of the top medical experts, psychedelic researchers and psychiatrists in the country who all warned that legalization without guardrails was at best premature for both personal and therapeutic use,” the coalition said in a statement Saturday.
“This is a setback for the huge number of Californians — including combat veterans and first responders — who are safely using and benefiting from these non-addictive substances and who will now continue to be classified as criminals under California law,” Wiener said in a statement Saturday.
Two years later, Colorado voters also passed a ballot measure to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms and to create state-regulated centers where participants can experience the drug under supervision.
One would legalize the use and sale of mushrooms for people 21 and older, and the other would ask voters to approve borrowing $5 billion to establish a state agency tasked with researching psychedelic therapies.
