Oregon's attorney general has approved language for a ballot measure to make psychedelic mushrooms legal. Oregon became the first state in the country to legalize psilocybin on election Tuesday with the passage of Measure 109.

The measure was passing by 56.12% Tuesday at 8:50 pm with 1,832,513 votes counted. Multiple cities have decriminalized the substance, but Oregon will become the first to permit supervised use statewide if that majority holds.
The measure, backed by chief petitioners wife-and-husband Sheri and Thomas Eckert of Beaverton, will allow regulated use of psychedelic mushrooms in a therapeutic setting. More
