Denver decriminalises magic mushrooms
Denver has voted to decriminalise the use of magic mushrooms - the first US city to do so.
The motion was put to a public vote on Tuesday, and passed with a slim majority of 50.6%.
Although the mushrooms will technically still be illegal, restrictions on personal use and possession by adults will be drastically loosened.
Police officers will now be instructed to treat magic mushroom users as their lowest priority.
Denver decriminalised cannabis in 2005 ahead of the rest of the state of Colorado. Tuesday's referendum was the first US public vote on magic mushrooms.
