   So what's your point being made? That Gavin Newsom is a good or evil person for blocking decriminalization of psychedelics?

Not making any point of whether or not he is good or evil.  Actually when I found out that California was going to decriminalize DMT I was excited.  
When it didn't go thru it was my baseline expectation.  I would have been pleasantly surprised if Newsom was vocal about supporting psychedelics.  

The fact that people tried at least is a sign that there are some people in power that have an open mind to consider.  

On the diabetes, insulin topic, it breaks my heart to see people having to ration their insulin medicine because they can't afford to.  Insulin has been around for a very long time, there isn't a reason it should be expensive.

Newsom is positioning himself as a moderate for 2008.

Newsom is pretty much a corporate democrat that is funded by big pharma.  

Sales on antidepressants would plummet if psilocybin become a legitimate treatment for clinical depression

I don't see any candidate as progressive until they actually care about issues on mental health and healthcare.  We already got Obama which push Obama care, then we went backwards.  If we did talk about "progressing" that candidate should be on the left of Obama.  
Gavin is pretty much Bill Clinton 2.0, good looking, says the right things, bound to have intercourse with interns.
