    Please dear God, do NOT take psilocybin containing mushrooms to treat your PTSD. Best case scenario, doesn’t make your PTSD worse, but nothing else goes wrong. That’s the BEST case scenario.

    As much as I want to commend this legalization activist, this seems significantly more risky then doing this type of protest/activism with something like marijuana.

    Well I agree that “magic mushrooms” should be legal, this guy is taking a big risk as it’s not hard to imagine one of his customers having a bad trip that results in an accident, or bodily harm - to themselves, or someone else.

    Unless he’s doing impromptu tests to gauge the experience of his customers, like asking them what’s the longest they’ve ever stared into wood grain… I can just see someone thinking it’s like legal weed, eating way too much, and having something go very wrong.

        No, you should reread the entire comment, instead of taking a portion out of context, but okay, I’ll play:

        If adult provides alcohol to an underage person, and they drive and kill someone, that adult can be criminally liable.

        Hallucinogens as strong as psilocybin alter ones perception and motor functions in ways that are completely alien to anyone who doesn’t already have experience with them.

        The risks I’m mainly talking about is the legal liability of the shop owner, as his protest is to make widely available these substances to people, many who likely have no frame of reference of what to expect and it’s not unreasonable to see how that could expose this guy to some serious legal risks.

        FWIW I have lots of experience with a wide range of them, and am speaking from that experience, not second hand accounts. I thought my comment about staring into wood grains was a not very subtle nod at that, but I guess not.
