Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill to decriminalize certain psychedelics in California, including so-called magic mushrooms.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom vetoed a bill Saturday that would have decriminalized the possession and personal use of a short list of natural psychedelics, including 'magic mushrooms.' The Democratic governor said that while he supports 'new opportunities to address mental health through psychedelic medicines like those addressed in this bill,' the state needs to establish regulations for the use of these substances before they are legalized.
The veto marks a stark deviation from Newsom's liberal image. Newsom was a strong advocate of Proposition 64, a 2016 ballot measure he championed as lieutenant governor that legalized the recreational use of marijuana in California. But it also underscores the mounting challenges he faces seven years later amid a ballooning homelessness and drug addiction crisis in the state.
