    This is a dealbreaker. There is no “middle ground” w/ climate denial & delay. Blaming “blue collar” Americans as the main opponents to bold climate policy is gas lobbyist 101. We’re not going to solve the climate crisis w/ this lack of leadership. Our kids’ lives are at stake.

    No Joe, there is no "middle ground" on climate breakdown - there is bold, transformative action or there is sinking ground, burning ground and churning ground. "Presidential hopeful Biden looking for ‘middle ground’ climate policy"

    Now if only would look at its own platform—which endorses decriminalizing marijuana, expanding medical cannabis and legalizing hemp—and issue a similar call to the lieutenant governor who belongs to their party. 👇

    I guess let’s give points for tacitly acknowledging his privilege as a rich guy who won’t get arrested for taking psychedelic drugs in this piece where he says it's a mistake to pass measures protecting other people for doing the same thing?

    Yes it’s important to proceed carefully w psychedelics because they can cause trauma even if they heal trauma in the right context. But arrests & incarceration also cause trauma. Those of us who have loved ones in prison for psychedelics do not see 11 prosecutions as symbolic.

    .: "Psilocybin ***decriminalization*** is expected to be on the ballot in Oregon in 2020 and a renewed petition drive is planned in California to put it on the ballot there… Debate is always a good thing, but ***I worry that we’re not quite ready for this one***."

    Then the writing is sloppy. If you published this prior to Denver vote, voters could be excused for reading this as saying their effort would "not be the smartest way” to advance the issue You should state unequivocally you support decrim ballot measures

    Reading will reveal that this piece supports decriminalization, just not legalization now. Opinion | Michael Pollan: Not So Fast on Psychedelic Mushrooms - The New York Times
