Honestly this whole thread is a cesspool, pure psychic damage. There are literally functional alternatives, but still these self-enlightened egolords can’t keep their fucking hands off an endangered plant. The prevailing attitude looks to be “Its there, so I i am entitled to plunder it”
This should apply to magic mushrooms as well. That was NEVER white culture, taking them is a form of expropriation of the exterminated Aztecs and other indigenous cultures.
Basically, if you’re not native, why are you doing the chemical equivalent of putting on a native headdress for fun?
There are psychedelic mushrooms native to other parts of the world, ie England and northern Europe have local varieties.
That and you can grow them with basically clean dirt, water, attention, and an unoccupied shelf.
A lot of psychonauts don’t really respect the mushroom though and treat it as a high rather than an experience. I don’t think we should gate keep the positive effects they have on brain elasticity though.
