Impact analysis
It could save some police and court time and money by making psychedelics a low priority, though the city may redirect resources toward education or health services.
People who use or possess psychedelics, harm-reduction advocates, and police who can focus on higher-priority calls all stand to benefit.
No groups are directly harmed, though critics may worry about unclear rules or public-safety messaging.
