Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

psychedelics can be used to reliably treat many mental disorders, glad to see that we're finally beginning to loosen up a bit.

Yeah! Lots of research has been happening for the last decade or so. It seems Americans are finally getting passed it and realizing these drugs can actually be super useful.

That, and making things that grow naturally illegal is stupid.

What if I told you it’s legal to buy spores and everything else you need to grow shrooms? It’s just illegal to plant the spores, so obviously people only buy them to look at under microscope (legal) and not to plant (illegal)

Yup look for all the info and advice you need at shroomery.org

Edit: this is my first lemmy comment

My brother got on a kick where he spent a lot of money and energy growing mushrooms and his first batch was a total waste. He went back a second time with some distended techniques and got some product but not much. How 3rd try was better but still not a lot of product for all the effort.

from what I hear, a good place to plant them is in a cow pasture

I hear uncle bens instant rice is also an excellent place 😉

Unless you're in Idaho or Georgia. And technically in California you have to register as a "researcher". Many sites won't ship to CA, other sites basically just say "it's your responsibility to follow applicable laws".

Either way, ideally you wouldn't have to rely on loopholes to seek care.

Been looking forward to this. Not a Californian but a micro dose enjoyer.

I'm all for it. I think we all deserve some shrooms in this timeline.
