Psychedelic Decriminalization Ordinance

Eureka has made personal use and possession of psychedelic plant medicines like psilocybin mushrooms a low priority for city law enforcement. It’s not full legalization, but it signals a shift in Humboldt drug policy and adds to a growing California trend. Why care? It changes who gets policed for small amounts and could free up local resources.
