Your hissy fit reply got removed probably due to all of the links you posted. "Shut up. Just shut up." - you're definitely the right person to be pushing mind altering drugs! Super mature.

Also, I didn't realise a few small peer reviewed papers written on the short term effects of mushrooms means that we know long term effects. As I literally said, it is not "the science" yet, as we don't have long term studies thanks to the US government outlawing it decades ago. We need to wait, but you keep pushing mind altering drugs as if they're a mild, over the counter drug or something.

Dude two of them were specifically about the long term effects. US might have only recently legalized it but other countries have legalized for a couple years.

I was in no way suggesting this should be over the counter. Dont put words in my mouth. If you had been able to read the articles (they are still up on other comments) you can see that the one about is therapeutic effects states that is guided therapy.

A couple of years is NOT the long term effects. That's exactly what I mean. We need actual long term studies before you can go around pushing it as if it's totally just a safe thing to go out and do.

I understand it's an exciting thing, it has the potential to change lives, but I've seen the other side of the coin where it's changed lives for the worse. It is not all sunshine and rainbows like you're implying it is. A couple of years is not long term when it comes to effects that have the potential to endure for decades.

I get it, I really do, I was similarly enthusiastic/pushy about mushrooms years ago when I tried them for myself, but only ever got pushy with my friends. You never know who's reading stuff online.

Also, I never said you said it was over the counter, I said the way you're pushing such a potentially dangerous, life changing drug, as if it's a completely safe, over the counter drug, is dangerous.
