The world's most modest psychedelics reform has failed in the California Legislature once again. Yesterday, the sponsors of a bill that would have allowed three California counties to run temporary pilot programs through which veterans and first responders could be administered psilocybin (the "magic" chemical in magic mushrooms) under medical supervision pulled their legislation, reports KQED.

This is the latest failure of legislation aimed at liberalizing ...
