Here in Michigan a couple cities are in the process of decriminalization. Oregon as a state has already done so.

Mushrooms simply aren't dangerous enough to be illegal, although I think people with a previous history of some mental illnesses should probably refrain.

For treatments, people are usually micro dosing, so they're taking really small amounts that don't even get them to that intense tripping condition.

These types of mind expanding drugs are IMO good for society and most people. They increase creative thinking and empathy.
