Who gained financially from illegalising it, in this case? I've never really known what prompted the change.
Colorado is filled with Libertarian Paradise fans in small towns, and everyone else just calls them stupid rednecks. Washington state is much the same, due to the hippies moving in with all the rednecks! Next time some asshole asks where all the hippies went, you know what to tell them. You might also remind them their reality TV is stranger than fiction.
Yes, it's definitely wise to check the various kinds that can grow in a specific region because psychoactive and poisonous ones can often grow in the same area. For psilocybin mushrooms, they usually "bruise" blue when picked but you can further test their legitimacy by taking a spore print.
Without the ability to at least laugh at yourself and say no to your own stupidity, Jesus is the only one who might save you.
It isnt really any different or more dangerous than any other sort of edible mushroom identification. If you know what you're doing and how to properly identify them, it's perfectly safe
They have good lawyers that hide all their crap well, and the perfect alibi of always being kept in the dark.
Agree! It's a great start for every state to introduce the goodness of magic mushroom to our body. Worth celebrating!
