California: Decriminalize California filed a proposed ballot measure last week that seeks to legalize the possession, cultivation and retail sale of psilocybin mushrooms in California.

Marijuana Moment Reports…

Activists filed a proposed ballot measure last week that seeks to legalize the possession, cultivation and retail sale of psilocybin mushrooms in California.

Decriminalize California, the group behind the petition, previously filed a narrower initiative to decriminalize the psychedelic statewide. But now they’re requesting a ballot title and summary for a new, more expansive proposal that also includes an relief for people who have previously been convicted of offenses involving psilocybin.

In a letter to the state’s attorney general, Decriminalize California Campaign Manager Ryan Munevar wrote that the group “would like to continue the process for the original model as well so that both versions are options for us to use.”

Munevar told Marijuana Moment in a phone interview that the group’s members “got stuck on this question of sales and distribution and what that really meant” and ended up debating the pros and cons of the broader approach compared to the more narrowly tailored decriminalization measure.

At first, the group’s logic was that they “didn’t necessarily want to decriminalize sales yet because we wanted things to get figured out and settled down,” he said.
