why are magic mushrooms illegal

yet people can quite happly drink 10 pints go out and hit someone due to the effects of the alcohol and yet alcohol is still 100% legal.

A few years ago my mum got her tosspot of an ex prosecuted for assault(he was an alcoholic). There were 2 coppers at the trial and one of them told me that alcohol would be illegal if it had been discovered recently.
On topic - it's silly making something that grows naturally in this country illegal. I used to go picking shrooms when I was younger. There's loads of places near where I live where they grow.
 
I listen to Shpongle, own Alex Grey art books, read read Rick Strassman M.D's book, have the right (mind) set and setting... but am too square to know where to begin my psychonautic adventures. :(

After doing a fair bit of reading, I feel inclined to agree with Joe Rogan that if you've never had a heavy psychedelic trip, experienced ego death etc, you're missing out on a (potentially) profound experience.

Nearest I'll get is the Ayahuasca trip scene here (based somewhat, excluding the animal spirits and plot-related memories, on what many people experience during a DMT trip, including the beings made from light, geometric patterns, pulsing sounds, dissolution of the self, going in the control room at the centre of the universe etc)


Trip to South America anyone?

Going to South America and doing DMT or Ayahuasca is actually on my list of things to do before I die. I'm in
 
That being said part of the reason I found drugs fun was the risk you were taking when doing it.

Really? That's a bit odd imo. Do them because they feel nice or the experience is cool? Fine. Do them because of the risk? Bit weird...
 
All this thread really did is reminded me to get some shrooms.

this is the thing and some younger members may go out looking for them now thinking oh how great that sounds let go shroom hunting :(

without knowing the possible side effects consequences and possible risk of there lifes.

yes you can have great fun on drugs but pls remember the other side aswell

like the guy posted earlier its all fun until you have a bad trip if that happens and that can ruin your life forever.

is it really worth the risk ?

at end of day your better of with a few beers and a dubbie now and again :p

and drinking is all fun till you get too dunk and accidentally walk into traffic or choke to death on your own vomit, or get cirrhosis.
 
but comparing taking acid to drinking isnt even in the same ball park you know it and i know it.

even if it was legal more people would still drink

Funny how all the druggy lovers always bring alcohol into the equation to deflect the arguments away from drugs being discussed in order to try and justify their use. It’s a good smokescreen but we can all see through it.

Why shouldn't a person be allowed to choose to do something that in moderation doesn't cause any harm?
 
Taking risks is fun. It adds to the rush. You have no idea what drugs will do to you when you first take them so of course it's a risk.

Must have just been me that did extensive research before deciding on trying anything then. :p

That said, I doubt many people actually understand how alcohol does what it does...
 
Sorry, but taking something and not knowing what it is or does is moronic. People who indulge in this manner are the problem.
 
You never know what's in the drugs you take. If you think by reading about them on the internet that you know then you're the one being "moronic" and extremely naive. :rolleyes:

Whilst some stuff will be cut, you can still get an idea of the components making that up.

Stuff like mushrooms or LSD aren't cut with anything.

Being oblivious to what the things you put in your body do, be they food, drink or drugs is stupid.

But don't let that get in the way of your "risk kick".
