Oregon (USA) becomes first state to legalize magic mushrooms

Oregon became the first state to legalize the active ingredient in so-called magic mushroomspsilocybin, that saw more states ease restrictions on recreational drugs across the country.



Through Measure 110, which has captured more than 58% of the vote so far, Oregon would also decriminalize the possession of small amounts of some hard drugs, including heroin and LSD

Instead of criminal prosecution, people in possession would face a $100 fine, which can be waived if the person agrees to pursue treatment, according to the measure.

In addition to psychedelics, a number of states asked voters to choose a path forward for their regulation of marijuana, too. In New Jersey and Arizona, voters legalized the recreational use of marijuana.
