Oregon has taken an unprecedented step in offering psilocybin, also known as magic mushrooms, to the public.

    I think my only problem with this is the consumer. Let me explain, some people are stupid and will do waaaaaay too much and end up having a horrifying trip. I’ve personally never done it, but if I were to try it I’d seek out someone experienced to help guide the trip.

      As OP alluded to below, is it the substance’s fault that some people overdo it, or take a regular amount but have an unpleasant experience? We could regulate the production and sale of these substances, and require clear labels about dosing, expected effects, etc. Since most psychedelics have little to no neurotoxicity (that we know of so far) it’s on the consumer to be responsible with their choices.

        Yeah that’s what I’m saying dude, only issue with this is the consumer. Consumers are mostly fine except for those idiots running around that eat chalk all day

      @qooqie Honestly, you are probably not wrong. Then, they will say it was the fault of the mushroom and should be banned.
