This coming May Denver voters will decide if the city should be the first in the country to decriminalize the use of so-called magic mushrooms. While illegal under federal law, the ballot issue would instruct police to make enforcement of mushroom use a low priority as long as people using mushrooms to get high are doing so in the privacy of their homes.
Denver Elections says supporters turned in 8,524 signatures of which 5,500 were deemed to be valid. To get on the Denver ballot all you need is 4,726 valid signatures.
