FYI the article poorly summarizes the bill and leads to the incorrect belief that the quantities listed are way off from reality. Here's the relevant section (bold added):

The possession, ingestion, obtaining, growing, giving away without financial gain to natural persons 18 years of age or older, and transportation of no more than two grams of psilocybin, psilocyn, dimethyltryptamine, ibogaine, and mescaline, excluding the weight of any material such as water, plant and fungi material of which the substance is a part or to which the substance is added, dissolved, held in solution, or suspended.

So if I'm reading this correctly the limit is 2 grams of psilocybin (an enormous amount), not 2 grams of mushrooms (a low dose).

You'll lose this one unless you get lucky BUT if you have other points for infractions you might fight it on the chance you win to keep the insurance surcharges down....

I say this as someone who was pulled over for 63-MPH on 128 25-years ago. I fought it, and despite the trooper not showing (sent a fill-in) I still lost!

EDIT: Looks like you have a speeding ticket from a few weeks back? 93 in a 75? Good luck.

Exactly. It's a panic / choke thing. Or they have a horrible sense of direction (like my wife).

I like to say, "There's no such thing as missing a turn because every road connects to itself." It's not like streets & exits are moving or vanishing targets. If you miss a turn, keep following your lane / road, loop around safely, and come back. It'll still be there. Sure, it's a pain, but it's a "dummy tax."

>This is different from legalization,’’ Jehlen said. “This is allowing personal use up to two grams. I think that’s probably enough for most people to use all the mushrooms they want to in their life.

Dear Fucking Clueless in Somerville,

Two grams in a lifetime, ha! I eat 2 grams of mushrooms every morning for breakfast just to make it through the day.

Peakin' at the Beacon,
