A California lawmaker might have discovered the only reason to stay in California.
Scott Wiener is introducing a bill to decriminalize psychedelic drugs like psilocybin, LSD, MDMA, ketamine, DMT, among others. The bill will focus on their medical benefits regarding PTSD, depression and other ailments.
