"This randomized clinical trial found that psilocybin-assisted therapy was efficacious in producing large, rapid, and sustained antidepressant effects in patients with major depressive disorder."

The people of the great State of Oregon seem to agree:

Two days ago, in Oregon, a law making medical use of psilocybin passed as a ballot measure.
Measure 109 was passing by 56.12% Tuesday at 8:50 p.m. with 1,832,513 votes counted.

Multiple cities have decriminalized the substance, but Oregon will become the first to permit supervised use statewide if that majority holds.

All mail in voting (or dropboxes) all the time in Oregon!
Works very well.
Greater voter participation.
Not very affected by the current administration's Coronavirus problem.
