Santa Cruz just became the third US city to decriminalize magic mushrooms and other natural psychedelics, behind Denver and Oakland.

Days ago, the Santa Cruz City Council voted unanimously on this change. According to a local report, people 21 and older who use, possess, or cultivate “psychoactive plants and fungi” are now among the “lowest priorities for law enforcement.”

Moving forward, such activities are decriminalized at a personal level in Santa Cruz. That doesn’t make it legal per say, but the city won’t actively seek out individuals experimenting with mushrooms (which contain psilocin), ayahuasca or peyote.

Last May, Denver voted to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms. Followed by Oakland’s resolution in June.

It’s important to note, Santa Cruz, Oakland and Denver do not apply decriminalization laws to LSD or MDMA, considering these substances are synthetic.

      Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?

      NelsonG posted a topic in General News,

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
