A San Francisco lawmaker says he’ll reintroduce a therapeutic-focused psychedelics bill next year.
Joseph David Emerson was sitting in a spare seat in the cockpit when authorities say he tried to shut off the engines before the two pilots subdued him. | Dave Killen/The Oregonian via APSAN FRANCISCO — A near disaster involving an off-duty pilot who admitted to experimenting with magic mushrooms may doom efforts to decriminalize psychedelics in California.
The fate of legalized psychedelics faces challenges similar to other progressive reaches such as limiting solitary confinement in prisons or halting minor traffic stops — each providing ample opportunities for critics to highlight potentially dangerous consequences. What happened on the Alaska Airlines flight shows how headline-grabbing incidents can complicate landmark legislation. It also reinforces Newsom’s keen political instincts to kill the bill.
Newsom asked lawmakers to send him a bill next year with therapeutic guidelines — signaling the governor is more interested in medicinal use than decriminalization. He has conceded that research has shown psychedelics can be effective in treating PTSD, depression and other mental illnesses. “Anyone can abuse a substance — legal or illegal — and do something horrific,” he said. “People overwhelmingly use them safely, without engaging in violence. This situation is an extreme outlier, and this guy should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”
Emerson said he was grieving the death of his best friend and had been depressed for about six months, according to the affidavit. He also told the agent that he was having a nervous breakdown at the time of the incident.
