God the way this article is written piss me the fuck off. They are trying really hard to spin it as people just wanting to get high. Burying the fact that this is a life critical drug for many. Mainstream media can fuck off

I’m happy for it to be available to those that can benefit from it as you mention, but also I just want to get high and when it comes to psilocybin I don’t see what’s wrong with that. Hoping California follows this path!

I too have absolutely nothing against people wanting to get high off it. My problem is with article trying to manipulate the reader’s opinion by putting emphasis on the recreational use.

Offering guided trips/treatment is a good thing, but the article says it costs $2K for a session… not great.

That’s the minimum I’d require to spend 8-10 hours with a bunch of people on mushrooms who thought I was some kind of tripping expert.

Solid point :-) They did mention that one provider only sees a single patient per week. The emotional toll for that provider has got to be huge.

You could luck out and really enjoy an epic winter keg party in the Rockies with a bunch of coyotes on the other side of the gorge howling at the full moon. Or whatever.

I hope this expands to more states. I have Tinnitus and they still don’t know why. Though I have heard great things on how this helps lower and or removes it fully for months at a time.

Good news, there are a few other states (or just cities) that have decriminalized use/possession where you can find dispensaries.
