Would you legalize 'Magic Mushrooms'?

Hopefully in 5-10 years marijuana will be legal in all Western countries. What I'm wondering about is if society will continue to become more liberal towards drugs, and what would be the next drug in the legalization debate. Personally I think/hope it will be psilocybin mushrooms, commonly called magic mushrooms. Not unlike marijuana, magic mushrooms seem to have incredible medicinal use-cases, especially to treat depression, including the most severe forms that are untreatable by any medication on the market - and without any side-effects. To give you an example, not surprisingly many people with cancer suffer from extreme depression, which means that they can't life the last months/years they have in any meaningful way. Magic mushrooms have the potential to help those people accept their fate and to life dignified the last days they got. Just search for 'magic mushrooms depression', there are tons of articles and evidence is overwhelming. Johns Hopkins University has published a number of studies on magic mushrooms, they are among the very best universities worldwide.

I know that magic mushrooms might not be without risks, especially if consumed by people without any previous experiences who take them for a quick trip. I'm interested to learn what you think. Would you legalize magic mushrooms? Do you see any chances for legalization in the foreseeable future?

I doubt we will see them legalized. Who knows though. I never thought cannabis would ever be legal in Canada either.

With the widespread hallucinogenic nature of some mushrooms, there's simply no way they will ever, under any circumstance, be legalized.

LSD has a better shot than mushrooms of ever being legalized.

I prefer Salvia; compacts the whole experience into 2 - 5 mins and it leaves you very settled and content afterwards.

Didn't like the whole "dribbling retard for hours" with the mushrooms.

There should be no restrictions on taking drugs. About 10% of population are susceptible addiction. The rest of us much less so. The addiction prone will find drugs and get addicted anyway. Anti drug laws get in the way of treating addicts. It makes no sense to create laws to prevent anybody who is not prone to addiction from taking them. Other than for political power games, that is. So, would I legalize the sale and use of hallucinogenic mushrooms? yep I would. And everything else too.

I think all drug use needs to be decriminalized.

I think psilocybin mushrooms should be at least decriminalised and probably legalized.

And universal healthcare to help them with the addiction issues.

No matter how much it costs, it can't be more than prison, ruining their lives and potential.

Yes and big pharma doesn't want you to have. So you won't.

All drugs should be legal. The focus should be on rehabilitation instead of incarceration.

As for mushrooms, I've only done them once and that was enough for me. Good god that shit does a number on your melon. :eyesmoke:

I used to love to do mushrooms. When I was in Florida we used to pick them, by a old church that was shaped like boat. We used to call them holy shrooms. They were psilocybin they had a purple cap and a purple ring on them. We were tripping a lot playing touch football in the rain and all sorts of wacky psychedelic shit. After a while my friends sister said we were not the same. I didn't think much about it until when I was supposedly straight I was taking a shower and water came out in different colors. So I quit taking them.

That was a refreshing post from you.

It's good that you think people should own their own bodies, so I wonder why you think they don't own the product of the labor of their bodies and that others can claim it against their will?

In the 1980s, didn't Europe have "acid houses"--huge warehouses turned into party spaces. Everybody got dosed who entered, and couldn't leave until daybreak. It was all legal, too.

I think that's the only way legalized shrooms would work. Otherwise, I'd be quite fearful of Texas rednecks and their assault weapons slung over their shoulders and tripping on mushrooms.

Everytime I do shrooms, I feel so much better about my life on the following day. I need at least one pyschedelic experience per year to stay on the straight and narrow.
