      How obnoxious that Michael Pollan, who wrote an entire book on psychedelic drugs and his consumption of them (including psilocybin mushrooms) would tsk-tsk a successful citizen-led ballot initiative to decriminalize possession of this important substancehttps://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/10/opinion/denver-mushrooms-psilocybin.html …

      I'm familiar with his work. Part of that work included consuming the mushrooms. He wrote a column expressing disapproval of the Denver decriminalization measure and I find that wholly obnoxious.

      I’ve read this twice. I don’t agree with Pollan’s arguments. But it’s truly the opposite of obnoxious. He doesn’t even express outright disapproval. He mildly questions the approach.

      He expressly denigrates the utility of the groundbreaking Denver ballot initiative. A few days after it passed. That's what I object to. The ballot initiative was stellar work by the people involved, and here's Pollan weighing in to undermine it.

          The op-ed is consistent with what he writes in the book. I don’t recall if he explicitly states he doesn’t feel they should legalized for “recreational” use, but he does lay out the same arguments in the boom that he uses in the op-ed...

          ...most notably fear of a puritanical backlash like the one in the 70s that shut down research, and the idea that the drug is best administered by professional “guides.” I think he’s definitely for it being made legal for medical use.

          Well, that better explains your exasperation. You thought he could be counted on to congratulate the effort. Instead, he provided a limp criticism.

          It read to me that he agrees with the ballots proposition but is waning of irrational exuberance. The kind that would lead people to using words like "ground breaking" and "stellar".
