As states like Oregon and Colorado lead the charge in progressive drug policies with psychedelic therapy legislation, California finds itself at a crossroads. Historically a pioneer, California now has the opportunity to reclaim its leadership role. This moment parallels the early days of cannabis legalization, where grassroots movements and state-level initiatives catalyzed national and international policy shifts. Californians, this is your call to action: urge your legislators to reflect the will of the people. Seize this chance to shape a future where progressive drug policies enhance public health and justice. Demand that your voices be heard and that California steps up once again to lead the way.
