Proposed California Law would legalize magic mushrooms, MDMA, LSD, and other psychedelic drugs

In addition to allowing Californians to produce and use certain psychedelic drugs, SB 519 officially recognizes these drugs’ medical application… would allow the possession, cultivation, use, and “sharing” of most psychedelic drugs in California was formally introduced in the state Legislature on Thursday [Feb. 18, 2021].

…proposal follows several successful decriminalization efforts at the city level in California. City Councils in both Oakland, across the bay from San Francisco, and Santa Cruz, a university and surf town about two hours to the south, have passed resolutions asking police to stop arresting people for possessing certain psychedelics… SB 519 would amend the state criminal code to specifically permit both the cultivation and distribution of certain psychedelics – though it does not permit sales.
