What the petition asks
Decriminalise and legalise the consumption, picking and purchasing of psychoactive mushrooms such as liberty caps and gold caps. Not only should people have the right to these important mushrooms, but we think it would also reduce the amount of money going to violent drug gangs.
Psychedelics have been shown in some studies to have amazing potential to treat challenging mental health conditions such as depression. Prohibition has meant that psilocybin has been unavailable and researched heavily restricted.
