The Mile High City might be getting a whole lot higher.

An advocacy group has collected nearly 9,500 signatures to get a measure on the ballot in May that would decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms in Denver.

On Monday, petitions were submitted to the city and county of Denver's Elections Division for the measure to appear on the upcoming ballot, and the division has 25 days to review.

While the Denver Elections Division has yet to verify the signatures, the issue is sure to sprout some debate.

"We want people kept out of prison, families kept together," said Kevin Matthews, the campaign director of Decriminalize Denver. "That was the main motivation for this."

It's important to note that the measure would not legalize the use or sale of magic mushrooms in Colorado's capital but instead would treat possession of the drug as the lowest law enforcement priority.

Under federal law, psychedelic mushrooms are classified as a Schedule I drug, the same as heroin or LSD. This means they have no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

Yeah and they're going to throw them on the fucking streets instead. The homeless issue, in Denver, is on par if not worse than LA.

This will help research as well....good stuff

As long as psychedelics are schedule 1 it will not help research. That is the reason marijuana is schedule 1 as well. They know there is a benefit and they don't want you to benefit. Being schedule 1 prevents real research from happening. You can give all the cocaine you want to your lab rats though.
