This here ^. While it could have a lot of benefits for some folks, I have also seen the negative effects in the city of Portland, OR.Portland has a severe mental health crisis and not enough mental health workers or police expertise to deal with it . As a result walking through downtown and SE seems like an episode of the Walking Dead.
This might be be beneficial to some health cases but it’s also going to attract a lot of unchecked drug use without enough support or studies to deal with the side effects .
Are you sure you can tie those problems in Portland to abuse of psychedelic drugs?
Given that connection, are you sure that decriminalization is what caused increasing abuse rates in Portland? IIRC, that was instituted in 2020, and the pandemic mucked up a few things since then.
