1. Poor job at educating if they want to decriminalize... With pot, most people have at least minimal

experience with pot--even if only once or twice in college. That was enough to question all the hysteria around keeping it highly scheduled and illegal, especially after reports and limited studies of medical benefits came to light.

The same hasn't happened with mushrooms... Medical benefits? Umm, none really documented. Frankly, even those pressing for drug reform don't all seem convinced on this one. Instinctively, I think there may be justification for decriminalizing since long drug sentences for possession don't seem "right", but they've not done a good job at making the case.
