Abstract

While Wiener hopes to change attitudes around the criminalization of psychedelics, a bill like SB 519 risks further stigmatizing other drugs. Though Wiener hopes to change attitudes around certain drugs - psychedelic hallucinogens specifically - a bill like SB 519 risks further stigmatizing other drugs. FEATURES IN AN UNASSUMING, OFF-WHITE, TWO-STORY HOUSE IN SAN Francisco's Mission District, built in the Italianate style that predominates in the neighborhood, you'll find the Institute of Illegal Images, aka the Blotter Barn. If Wiener can successfully change the minds of legislators (and voters) about a class of drugs long dogged by the stigma of hedonism and hippie freak-outs, then an even more extensive, more compassionate approach to all drugs and all drug-related disorders seems, at the very least, conceivable.
