FAQs
-
Does this legalize mushrooms? Will I be able to go to a store and buy psychedelics? Etc.

Is there an age restriction on who can use it?
Yes, after this passes only folks 21+ will have access to these plant medicines. -
What is the benefit?

Is there any benefit to me if I am a recreational user?
Yes. This law will lessen the penalty for personal consumption of psilocybin and other natural psychedelics down to a small fine.
