I wasn't aware of this: I Took Magic Mushrooms To Treat The World’s Worst Headaches This is factual evidence that magic mushrooms actually DO have a medical use. They seem to be fantastically useful for cluster headaches. They have been using ergot-derived drugs for this for decades, so it's not a surprise. This means the DEA legally can no longer keep psilocybin classified as a Class 1 drug. (Just like cannabis.) It has to be classified as a prescriptable drug. I noticed stories about certain states decriminalizing the mushrooms, but I thought it was just for fun. This is a serious medicine for people with a chronic disease that makes them consider suicide.

The DEA has approved some CBD drugs, and there is currently a law suit to force them to reclassify weed. The "war against marijuana" arguably began in 1930, where a new division in the Treasury Department was established — the Federal Bureau of Narcotics — and Harry J. Anslinger was named director. This, if anything, marked the beginning of the all-out war against marijuana. My favorite Anslinger quote: “Reefer makes darkies think they’re as good as white men.” Second runner up: "This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes"

Stupid prosecutions: Jury Deadlocks On Charges Against Arizona Border Activist Anybody who gives an illegal water or food, can be charged with a crime. But they can go to court and claim it was the core of their religion, if they are Christian. Jesus says quite explicitly in Matthew 25, that we are to feed the hungry, etc. So this humanitarian assistance for illegals is the most Christian thing one can do. Jesus even said "You did this for the least of these my brothers, so you did it for me." I would say that's more important than Communion or any other ritual of the Christian church! Trying to prosecute people for acting on their religious beliefs is doomed, and just might lose Trump some support among people who claim to be Christians.
