I don’t want the only legal method of consuming these mushrooms to be with a yuppy doctor who is so far detached from the cultural significance of entheogenic plants, and calls it “therapy.” This feels like a grift.

Grow them yourself. Forage them yourself. That’s part of the experience. You might be rewarded with a good trip.

definitely too early to access the alpine in the Cascades, either North near Bellingham or South by Seattle, but if you snowshoe you can easily access Artists Point on Mt Baker is avvy conditions are in agreement. Also understand that in April you are dealing with the weather which is hit or miss, mostly miss ;-), at that time of the year.

So the only way people should be allowed to consume psilocybin is if they pick them themselves or don’t pay someone who did? I'm asking because you seem to have an issue specifically with profit off of mushrooms. The vast majority of folks who use them, that I'm aware of, buy them. So are we already in a perverted state?

Mushrooms aren’t a crutch. That’s just the thing. A trip isn’t gonna cure your ailments. It’s going to make you think differently for a bit, but when it wears off you’re back at square one. No one needs to do mushrooms to “survive.” You’re out here romanticizing powerful drugs.

News flash, everyone is “detached from reality.” They’ll be even more detached from reality when they’re on mushrooms. You and I obviously don’t share the same world view when it comes to powerful psychedelic drugs, and that’s okay.

Speak for yourself, please.

I’m pointing out that California is not a monolith either in terms of climate or of weather. Making sweeping generalizations about a geographically diverse area is ridiculous. Blatantly lying about another person’s comments is gaslighting, or, sadly, typical social media behavior.

Judge Terry Tanner was minding his own business, judging the bouquet and minute details of several different brands of whiskey. And then, all of a sudden, he high centered his car on a concrete block before blowing a .220 and .232
