Crime rates continue to surge in many American cities, putting many families in a constant state of fear.
Democrat-controlled parts of America in particular reel from out-of-control crime, which Democrat lawmakers often ignore.
And Denver area parents were appalled as this drug festival ensued.
Denver’s magic mushroom festival has many fed-up residents demanding answers
Following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, crime rates skyrocketed all over the country.
Violent crime, retail theft, and robberies in particular have steadily increased in many American communities, especially in Democrat-controlled urban centers.
Denver, Colorado for example has reeled from out-of-control crime, leaving many residents afraid to leave their own homes.
Drug use and homelessness particularly plague the mile-high city, with nearly every street corner littered with homeless camps and hypodermic needles.
Rather than address these crippling public health and safety concerns, Denver and Colorado lawmakers have instead made it their top priority to legalize as many drugs as possible.
Most recently, Colorado lawmakers decriminalized psychedelic substances in 2022 as the state reels from a substance abuse epidemic.
Last weekend, psychedelic drug enthusiasts flocked to the Denver Shroom Fest in the River North Art District of Denver.
This festival featured vendors who marketed magic mushroom growing equipment, magic mushroom products, food items, and other mushroom-related products.
Denver Shroom Fest co-founder Eric Burden spoke to the Denver Post about this year’s event, sharing his thoughts on the festival.
According to Burden, “There’s no purpose behind this other than let’s have a mushroom party. That’s what we were trying to do.”
As it stands, vendors cannot legally sell magic mushrooms, however, a grey area exists that seems to allow the transfer of mushrooms via trade or exchange.
Similar loopholes exist in other parts of America such as with Washington D.C.’s cannabis market.
In these places, customers do not directly purchase drugs or products.
Instead, they purchase a legal item such as a sticker or lighter for the amount of the drugs, and the drugs are included as a “free gift.”
This way, vendors can claim to law enforcement that they never engaged in a direct sale, but rather gifted the drugs to an individual, which remains legal in these areas.
Colorado’s relaxed drug laws have created an uproar all across the state, with many Coloradoans believing that this could open the door for even more drug use and so-called “drug tourism.”
The city of Amsterdam has opened the door to this sort of drug tourism, much to the chagrin of locals.
Dutch lawmakers have added restrictions to the sale of mushrooms and other drugs in recent years as incidents have occurred involving drugged-up tourists causing mayhem.
Democrat lawmakers have their priorities completely backward on drugs
Rather than find ways to curb out-of-control drug use, which often leads to homelessness, Democrat lawmakers have found new and creative ways to get drugs on the streets.
Already, these policies have backfired in a very profound way.
In Oregon for example, lawmakers recently overturned a measure that effectively decriminalized all drugs after chaos and mayhem ensued.
