illigalisation of shrooms...

It was nice seeing mushrooms in shops for a while, alas we all suspected it couldn't last for long. We'll just have to do the same as with other drugs, take them illegally! I haven't had any drugs in a while actually, but the government's war on drugs is farcical, and one they can never win....

 

Yeah, and also, they only grow on the right kind of field. They won't grow on any field. The terrain, soil, moisture, altitude and all that stuff determines wether they'll grow or not. Then there's the fact that they don't exactly grow all year round in Britain. Some types of magic mushroom (like the fly agaric) come and go within the space of about 6 weeks.

 

I think its due to all those sellers putting those signs in windows telling people they sell them. My friend went to Camden and said you could buy 'shrooms from every stall... but I wouldn't eat those ones. As for picking them... come to Wales to these ere parts we have lots ... I mean West Wales is renound for the growth of shrooms... even apparently in my front garden Also apparently for shrooms not to grow it has to be a certain temp and humidity so there is still chance that there are some around. But yeah West Wales is great for shrooms... which is not why people choose here to go to uni

 

The Southern Upland Way is great for picking around late September and early October. Me and a couple of others picked about 500 in 20 minutes.

They want to band them because mushrooms can help you see things that are not so apparant when you're not tripping.
They are controlling us, they don't want people to be thinking like the way they do when they're on mushrooms. They'll be banning peyote and sans pedro cacti soon.

FUCK THE GOVERNMENT.

 

Saying that... why not crack down on Salvia too?!?!

Salvia is a mind altering drug where the trips are far more intense than that of shrooms. That legal too.

Then there are cactus! Why not stop the selling of those? They too have mind altering effects.

 

No it's because of all the sheep

 

actually salvia in the type that you are talking about, isn't widely available. only places who are selling it for recreational uses stock it. it is in the same family of the sage plant and there are many different types of salvia. for example if you tried to get a hold of it in a herbalist of a health food shop they wouldn't sell it to you, as its really quite dangerous...... i really recommend that you do research before taking any 'herbal highs' as they have many many conterindications that people are just oblivious too, it can be really dangerous. oh and before anyone asks, i know this stuff from working in napiers the herbalist....

I have no intention of taking salvia or any 'herbal high' really. I have heard too many stories from people who have used Salvia to even want to try. Although if you want to get the type of Salvia that I am talking about you can... but I toooo would agree to do some research before attempting any 'herbal high'

 

haahaa.... I was waiting for that and deserved it really

Heeheee... the shrooms round 'ere be growin in sheep and cow shit

 

yeah, thats the problem that people who *generally* don't know that much about salvia or its effects are selling it, wheras medical practicioners won't go near the stuff or really recommend it to people...... grrrrrr i get so stressed with people who act in ignorance with herbs etc, they are just as potent as any chemically altered medication that you can take. but thats a whole different subject.....

I agree Nasty stuff!

 

I'd disagree... The choice should always be down to the individual (adult). A drug is a drug, some are more addictive than others / have harsher side effects but Internal Freedom should not be something that the government rule.

Where do you get the facts to back up

?

Most people I know have tried drugs and have never had a problem with addiction.

People that tend to get addicted tend to have addictive personalities in the first place and / or be trying to get away from their real life IMO.

If you are balanced and happy with your life then odds on are that you will experiment, have a fucking blast! and leave it at that! ( oh yeah and probably have a killer come down at some point )

Yeah I don't agree with my statement either!

I'm not really sure where it all came from, maybe it was just a devil's advocate moment, but on who's part I was arguing I have no idea! And there were never any sources for the 'most people who try coke become addicts' claim. That is actually complete nonsense .

I suppose I wouldn't be in any great rush to decriminialize these drugs though. It's a decent enough arguement that it might cut down the gang side of drug crime, maybe even your common thief. But I don't see it working out all that grand.

Aye, indeed - Never had any killer come downs myself, wouldn't even say I've had come downs. I must have obviously, but they've never felt all that harsh or uncomfortable or anything. Another good pro for the shrooms, the come down is just slowly sobering up. Compared to alcohol that's pretty amazing.

Yeah I discovered that. The morning after having taken shrooms, even if you took many (say 100 liberty caps) you wake up completely refreshed from the experience, as if you never took them at all.

 

Wow. Is that what passes for a lot these days?

 

yeh i agree

 

i believe the government has to put bans on things such as weed and shrooms due to pressures from the public. they want to gain voters right? and they value the vote of the well off parents not wanting their kids to get involved in such trouble, than us "hippies". You argue that if he bans this they should issue bans on alcohol or nicotine-this would result in losing half the populations' vote as the majority of ppl use these or mis-use them. jen x

 

However, governments shape public perceptions to begin with. The public wouldn't be so anti-drugs if the government hadn't fed them with propaganda for years.

 

Heh. I must always end up picking the very potent ones.

 

I still don't know why the government are so anti-drugs yet alcohol and cigarettes remain acceptable. I have one or two theories in mind but what are their reasons for such an inconsistency?
