In an interview with a blog aimed at legalizing psychedelic drugs, Missoula City Council member Daniel Carlino said he’s had “a lot of life-changing experiences” with the substance and will continue working to decriminalize it.

“If every politician had a psychedelic experience, I think we would be getting way better outcomes in this world,” Carlino said in the interview. “Part of the reason that I got into politics is just believing in myself through psychedelic experiences and thinking ‘Hey, I can change the world and step up to the plate to be in politics and be an activist.’ ”
