Legalize Shrooms

Couldn't find this posted anywhere else, some of you may have seen this... i found it hilarious! "Why do you look disappointed!?" LMAO

 

that kinda pissed me off, actually, I hate when drugs are misrepresented. It just makes people who use psychedelics look like idiots.

 

ah i don't think so dude, you don't think a head mouth is fucking funny? hahaha I don't think that's what they were getting at with it, that entire staff AT LEAST smokes weed, they have entire shows dedicated to it. I didn't think they acted like idiots.

 

Ive never thought I was cookie monster, that I could fly, that no one could see me, or that I had a head-mouth. They obviously havent taken psychedelic mushrooms, and they portray made up effects, with out touching on the validity of their use. Its childish humor that sets back the entire shift in perception of psychedelics another step away. I like CollegeHumor, I just thought this was dumb.

 

Right on, I wasn't really critiquing its accuracy, just thought it was funny... I dig what ur sayin though

 

shrooms are illegal in every state except florida

 

whaaaat. for real?

 

Spam.

 

Florida is just the same as the rest, the best of the best come from nor-cal, oregonia and washington. Texas is cubie country for sure.

dont legalize the shroom, it's better illegal, the people that need it will get it, those that dont have a lot of trouble.

 

Here in the UK we had a great law until the fascists put their fists down about 3 or 4 years ago. The situation was as follows: It was legal to pick them, eat them ... in fact, do anything to them, apart from dry, freeze or otherwise prepare or store them for consumption. It was ace, because you'd find shroom stalls selling various kinds all over the city (london). Too bad the elected dictatorship decided, with (of course, it's a "democracy") no attempt to gather opinion from the shroom consuming masses, to re-designate shrooms as a "class B" substance. That means, basically(for you non-brits), that sale results in a possible prison sentence.

This was part of a big reorganisation of drug laws which began after the Home Secretary's son was caught selling hash, and then, a few years later, Tony Balir's son was found passed out, fucked from his mind, in a gutter. Nobody pays any attention. Come down to Brixton. The whole neighbourhood stinks of weed all the time. Seriously.

 

Shrooms are illegal in Florida... in fact it is one of the few states that prosecutes for having spores.

 

Bull shit, too many people I know who do mushrooms are fucking stupid, and treat it like another drug. grouping mushrooms in with heroin and PCP trivializes the experience, and turns intelligent, responsible people away from trying it. Making mushrooms legal would mean that the people who "need it," artists, architects, scientists and intellectuals, could access it without the anxiety of dealing with the black market, or of spoiling their reputation. Plus, it would distance them from the less valid drugs, and probably reduce the number of idiots eating them.

 

Not to mention the number of people who would try to drive while shroomin

 

you mean now, or if they were decriminalized? Driving under any intoxicant is fucking stupid, one DUI should result in permanent suspension of your license, if you ask me.

 

Decriminalization. Sure there are some people who still do it now, but if they are legalized people will start to think that if they are safe enough for society then there MUST be a way to drive on them. Thats when the shit will start hitting the fan, and thats why I want mushrooms to stay illegal.

 

No thats dumb. Alcohol is legal, and most people know enough not to drink and drive. Besides, its not like that many more regular people would try mushrooms, drug abuse statistically has very little correlation to legality, in fact use generally slowly increases with prohibition.

 

I guess you're right. :toetap05:
But with alcohol there is still a little bit of functionality. With mushrooms however...

 

I would have to disagree 2409582349058904589485948594852908520875% on the alcohol. Do you realize how MANY people DUI every day? Shit, less than two months ago, I saw a fatal, head-on DUI accident. Less than six months ago, three kids at my high school died because a drunk driver blew a stop sign at 60 mph. Less than a year ago, a close friend of mine died when a drunk driver blew a red light and t-boned her car.

People are fucking stupid; we've all heard the old adage about common sense's abundance. Alcohol should have stayed banned, if prohibition would have worked. What do you learn from being drunk? Don't be the first to pass out at a party?

But I agree that full legality of mushrooms would lead to complications. Maybe something that requires a specific license to legally ingest would be the right move, or maybe an economic stimulus like trip-houses would be. But we know this is America, and the license would only be available to a handful of people, and the trip-houses would eventually be regarded like the legal weed grow-ops, raided by federal forces until it becomes such a movement that a new president would redirect the raids in exchange for popularity.

 

Yeah but people who are drunk are alot more likely to be in a situation and think that it will be fine if they drive, thats how all DUI's happen. But people tripping are more likely to not think its okay to drive, since they're tripping.

 

I agree for the most part, regarding shrooms and driving. I guess it just upset me that norcali said

But consider the mindset. Like wakeboart said, society will think that because it's legal that it's safe to drive on. Shit, not that I recommend it, but I drove up to Bonnaroo on ten grams. And that was on the interstate, travelling mostly straight, at midnight, with no traffic, and with a sober dude in the passenger seat watchin my driving and ready to take over any time. Greaaaat trip. Came to realize that time's linear path is a product of locomotion (as in moving, not as in choo choo). But this isn't a trip report. Point is, it's dangerous, and it was dangerous that I did it, and it got really terrifying at one point, as it looked like there were millions of disembodied faces screaming and writhing, trying to escape the mountain walls. Oh, wait, the point of that last sentence was actually to say that I felt no inhibition about driving tripping until after I'd already came down. But that was mostly because all the driving in the mountains upset my stomach and I had to toss out the window in the middle of the interstate, leaving mostly digested mushrooms sprayed across the side of my car.
