The initiatives, it seems to me, are a relief valve for ideas which can’t get traction in the legislature. At times that’s good, forcing an issue with popular support to be addressed. But in some cases the legislature punting on an issue is for good reason.
Any how this year we have half baked ideas (mushrooms anyone?) and complex ones up for popular vote.

I don’t object to it being an issue on the ballot, I couldn’t resist the pun though. To me It didn’t seem fully thought out… you could grow 12 square feet of 3 types of psychedelics, but if I read it correctly you couldn’t actually consume it without licensed supervision. …. Seemed a bit of an inconsistency. Having gone back there is actually 15 pages of details which is dense and includes the creation of a commission. So half baked, while clever was not accurate.
Yes!

Legalizing magic mushrooms seems to me to be a fine idea and a normal use for a referendum, although a legislative solution would be equally good.
