A Maine House committee is considering a bill to legalize psilocybin, allowing adults to access the psychedelic at licensed facilities while broadly ending the criminalization of personal use and possession of psilocybin.
During a hearing before the legislature’s Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee on Wednesday, members—two of whom disclosed personally using psilocybin in the past—discussed the psychedelics proposal, sponsored by Sen. Donna Bailey (D), who filed a similar version of the proposal in 2022 that passed the Senate but stalled out in the House.
The legislation would allow adults 21 and older to access psilocybin service centers where it could be administered under the guidance of a trained facilitator.
The state Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) would be responsible for overseeing the psilocybin program. Regulators would need to start approving psychedelic service centers by January 15, 2025.
Adults in general would be able to possess and cultivate up to four ounces of psilocybin for personal use under the legislation.
Boy howdy… when things get interesting, they REALLY get interesting.
In an effort to deflect attention from the gross corruption she initiated in the prosecution of Donald Trump, Atlanta District Attorney Fani Willis stepped into the middle of a contentious divorce between Willis’s married lover and appointed Special Prosecutor, Nathan Wade, and his wife, Joycelyn Wade.
After discovering details of the relationship between Nathan Wade and Fani Willis, lawyers representing Mrs. Joycelyn Wade wanted a deposition of Fani Willis. At issue are the finances in the marriage and Mrs. Wade’s discovery that her husband, Nathan Wade, and Fani Willis had been living a life of indulgence from the marital income received (more than $650, 000) as a result of DA Willis hiring Nathan Wade to prosecute Donald Trump.
In an over-the-top court filing trying to avoid the deposition, the Fulton County’s district attorney accused the estranged wife of conspiring to undermine the Trump prosecution by seeking her testimony. Fani Willis does not deny the affair; instead, she accuses Joycelyn Wade of coordinating with Trump people and co-defendants to interfere with the prosecution.
It seems likely that government officials were involved in planting pipe bombs in Washington, DC three years ago, as part of an effort to keep Donald Trump from running for president again. Darren Beattie has details. pic.twitter.com/jsM5jCDeBd
This video blows the whole J6 insurrection bullshit wide open. It shows there never was an evidentiary leg to stand on. But there was and is glaring evidence of three years of treasonous malfeasance under color of law. All deliberately covered up while the lies about the bomb were used with savage dishonesty for venomous political schemes. ABN
1. When it comes the semantics of what constitutes a pandemic, unfortunately they have been made important by the existence of the Pandemic Preparedness apparatus, including the WHO accord and IHR revisions. That’s the only context in which the definition of a pandemic is important. A very broad definition, which includes pathogens that are mild, is of no use to man or beast absent that context, and irremediably perilous within it. The Covid policy response has proven that.
2. Under a sensibly narrow definition, Covid was not a pandemic. Controlling for misattribution and iatrogenic harms, its fatality rate was negligible.
3. Under any definition, the excess mortality witnessed in a few places during the Covid phenomenon was not caused by a pandemic, but by policy. The real phenomenon was a mass casualty event, not a pandemic.
4. It is extremely unlikely that a pandemic, narrowly defined, can occur. In our integrated world we don’t encounter pathogens that are novel in the sense of immune naivety, because pathogens are related to one another, and we enjoy rich immune cross-reactivity from prior exposure to related endemic ones. Even the cleverest lab scientists can’t cook up entirely new ones.
The validity of points 1 to 3 above in no way depends upon point 4 being valid. So I reject the Pandemic Preparedness construct and view pandemics as not presenting a real threat. Preparation for them is akin to preparing for invasion by the flying spaghetti monster. I cannot prove that he doesn’t exist, but I think anyone who spends a cent on that project is a dangerous lunatic.
And for clarity, even if none of the above four points are valid, all of the mandates involved in the Covid policy response were moral obscenities never to be repeated under any circumstances whatsoever.
Jan 13 (Reuters) – A federal judge in Florida on Friday ruled that a U.S. law that bars people from possessing firearms in post offices is unconstitutional, citing a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling from 2022 that expanded gun rights.
Ayala, a U.S. Postal Service truck driver in Tampa, had a concealed weapons permit and kept a Smith & Wesson 9mm handgun in a fanny pack for self-defense, his lawyers said.
He was indicted after prosecutors said he brought the gun onto Postal Service property in 2012.
Mizelle said that while post offices have existed since the nation’s founding, federal law did not bar guns in government buildings until 1964 and post offices until 1972. No historical practice dating back to the 1700s justified the ban, she said.
Mizelle said allowing the federal government to restrict visitors from bringing guns into government facilities as a condition of admittance would allow it to “abridge the right to bear arms by regulating it into practical non-existence.”
Surely you cannot be this obtuse. I hope your ignorance is feigned and not sincere.
In all 50 states in America — as a result of preposterous judicial rulings — illegal aliens and millions of other ineligible noncitizens — can register to vote merely by checking a box on a federal form declaring that they are citizens.
This attestation is not validated or verified in any way prior to voting, nor inspected or checked in any way subsequent to voting. It functions entirely on the honor system.
We are expecting the same people who dishonored our sovereign border to honor the integrity of a piece of paper.
In other words, we are to believe that millions of people who have collectively violated the law millions of times (illegal entry, smuggling, harboring, illegal overstay, social security fraud, identity theft, illegal work, failure to pay taxes, etc.) will not check a mere box on a form because that too is illegal! (Knowing full well their assertion will be accepted without any further scrutiny whatsoever).
We are truly the first society in all history with a completely open border combined with no citizenship verification for voting. (Not to mention the ability to vote remotely via mail or drop box for weeks at a time or, in several states, third party collection of mail ballots).
Can you honestly defend such a system?
You know full well these gaping vulnerabilities are all by design: hence the virulent opposition by progressives to any form of election integrity (and ruthless targeting of election integrity advocates).
A controversial ban on XL Bully dogs is set to come into force in England and Wales on Sunday, following a September announcement by the UK government amid a rise in fatal attacks involving the breed in the country.
The breed was added in September to the list of dogs banned in England and Wales under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
According to the UK government’s website, starting December 31 it will be against the law to sell, abandon or let stray, give away and breed from an XL Bully dog, as well as to have an XL Bully in public without a lead and muzzle.
Under the new law, owners will have until February 1 to register them, as it will be a criminal offense to own a dog of that breed in England and Wales without a certificate of exemption.
The ruling does not apply to Scotland and Northern Ireland, with local media in the two constituent countries reporting an increase of rescues of the breed from England and Wales as a result.
The doctor-patient relationship is the heart and soul of rational medicine and the legal foundation of American medicine. Apparently the Maine board—which has grossly overstepped its bounds—wants patients to be as ignorant as they are and do no research and make no effort to arrive at a reasonable decision in consultation with their physician. I hope Nass sues them into oblivion, not for the money but to annihilate this nonsense. ABN

Malone is in full on fake mode. He knows these aren’t regulated pharmaceutical products at all but countermeasures under a public health emergency. It’s not a side issue. For proof, see Substacks of Katherine Watt and Sasha Latypova. There is zero possibility that Malone doesn’t know this. His articles are locked to paying subscribers. How very convenient. If there are any such subscribers here, perhaps you would be so kind as to copy / paste this comment there? Many thanks Mike
I am posting this because: 1) it appears to be from Mike Yeadon; 2) the message is correct, the vaxxes legally are countermeasures; 3) it is not just Malone who is doing this, many of the other critics of covid policy are doing it as well; 4) it is possible all of these critics are just saying what is easiest for people to hear, but it is also possible they have formed a ‘limited hangout’ to misdirect the public and other researchers away from the roles of DoD and NSA who bear ultimate responsibility for the US covid response and the vax countermeasure. Who among those people is doing it knowingly and who unknowingly? According to Yeadon, Malone knows. ABN
