Breaking: Denver votes to decriminalize hallucinogenic magic mushrooms, becoming the first U.S. city to do so.
Supporters spent months touting the therapeutic properties of the naturally occurring mushrooms, which contain the drug psilocybin.
Denver has been a pioneer in drug legalization. It decriminalized marijuana in 2005, seven years before Colorado became the first state to legalize it, and last November the city tried to create the nation’s first “safe injection” site — a medically supervised area for intravenous drug users. That failed after being declared illegal by state and federal authorities.
