Dangerous drugs will once again be on the ballot in this upcoming election. On November 5th, we urge you to vote NO on Question 4.
If passed, Question 4 would:
- Legalize the use of 5 powerful and dangerous psychedelic drugs: psilocybin, psilocyn, dimethyltryptamine, mescaline, and ibogaine.
- Legalize for-profit psychedelic facilities with no ability for towns to ban these facilities.
- Allow psychedelics to be grown at home and given away to others, effectively creating a black market.
These drugs have been documented to cause psychosis, mania, and other mental health issues that can be long-lasting. That’s why Question 4 has been deemed by many medical experts, including the Massachusetts Psychiatric Society, as “reckless, irresponsible, and dangerous to the public.” They state that such potent hallucinogenic drugs should only be given, if at all, by prescription and with medical supervision. The use of these drugs for medical purposes is still very much in the experimental stage and legalizing them now has the potential to cause major harm to Massachusetts communities.
MFI stands in steadfast opposition to the legalization of dangerous drugs, which hurt children and destroy families. Spread the word: When you vote on November 5th, vote NO on Question 4!
