Here's how a trip on magic mushrooms helped decriminalize psychedelic plants in a California city
and what Plazola calls a “consciousness community,” a co-working space where people can also meditate on their psychedelic journeys and learn about the plants.
He said his mushroom trip last fall was the result of deep soul searching. He had just turned 50 and had a variety of careers: politics, community organizing, real estate development. He was “sort of bored.” He did yoga and mediated often but felt mentally blocked. Then he read author Michael Pollan’s bestseller “How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence.
“I told them, ‘I used to work in politics; if you want to pass something, I’d be happy to help,’” Plazola said. “Walgreens is not the only solution,” Gallo said. “When I go to the doctor, all they want to do is drug me.”“The first step is decriminalizing it, and then the next step is, ‘All right, let’s move on: How do we do what we did with marijuana? How do we grow it? How do we sell it? How do we prescribe it?’”to the City Council’s Public Safety Committee, signed by Gallo, cites Decriminalize Nature Oakland’s opposition to sale of the plants.
