Why don't they legalize mushrooms next?

[backtrackit]

Mushrooms give a lot of trouble.

Weed is legal here and mushrooms were, but too many students and tourists used them without proper knowledge and after eating them, many jumped out of a window because they felt they should..

i listened to alt-rock on them.  I don't see what the problem is  

The problem is that some people react to them differently and usually lethally. 

that's ridiculous

Such an elaborate argument. Wow... Anyways, psychoactive drugs can often cause psychosis leading to inadequate actions, sometimes lethal. Overdose is also a possibility.

You said said using it was usually lethal which is clearly nonsense. Also "overdose" is not a possibility. The substance isn't poisonous even if ingested in very large amounts.

You simply do not know what you are talking about. How about showing us some studies that show the lethality of psychedelic mushrooms? Not one credible study will back your claims up.

I mentioned the lethality of actions during the intoxication, during a trip, especially during a bad one. Also did I say I meant a lethal overdose? A non lethal overdose is possible causing negative effects for multiple hours both for you and anyone surounding you. Google and you'll see articles regarding this.

The wise ones have a sitter with them when doing high doses and bad trips rarely end up in death  . Most people on bad trips end up sat in a corner crying lol

now you've edited your statement but you originally said it USUALLY lethal due to overdose. This is simply not true.

Someone can have an accident an hurt themselves or someone else when they are perfectly sober. Should we ban that too?

You would be surprised actually. People who intake shroom's are normally pretty smart about it. Anyhow more people die under the influence of alcohol than they do tripping on shroom's. So should alcohol be banned too because of the odd idiot that abuses it and or does stupid things while under the influence ?

I don't drink so I couldn't care less .Also it isn't legal maybe due to the fact we already have a behavior altering drugs allowed - alcohol. Introducing another one would cause lots of problems.

Well I don't drink but still have the opinion that it should be legal to do so. Alcohol is not the only behavior altering drug there are many others adding one more would not hurt at all lmao.

Grasping at straws now or what lol. There is shitloads more than alcohol that is LEGAL and allowed in most countries and some of them are far more dangerous than mushrooms.

@backtrackit: Any specific examples of such drugs?

Nicotine highly addictive and is usually inhaled by smoking tobacco. Think we all know that it slowly kills you

Synthetic Marijuana legal in most parts of the world - kills people and is stupidly addictive

Salvia divinorum - more intense than mushrooms but the effects don't last as long

Datura - easy to OD and dangerous to use without a sitter

Hope that's enough ...I know nicotine won't cause immediate harm to the user or anyone else but worth mentioning since it does kill a lot of people.

Nicotine does change behavior. Synthetic cannabis are illegal in many big countries or are in a so called legal grey area. Same for Salvia divinorum: some states in the US passed lawas against it, some haven't mostly due to the fact it isn't widely used unlike shrooms. Datura is a herb growing naturally without interaction of people and due to it's mass toxicity again isn't widely used.

So if it's not widely used it's ok then lol. Jesus the ignorance must be bliss...do you think magic mushrooms don't exist in a natural habitat? Do you also think they would be widely used ? They grow all over the world you know

Legalization or prohibition of drugs are only possible if the majority agrees. Since the majority doesn't use such drug nor they heard of it, they don't give a crap. If a couple of idiots OD nobody in the government cares, but if those idiots are only a few overdoses out of hundreds than the government gets pressure to ban it. We're not talking about if drugs are bad or good, we're talking why aren't they being legalized by the government and sorry to break it to you, but that how current governments work.

Regarding mushrooms, the Datura (unlike mushrooms which grow only in certain areas) grows like a parasite both in woodland and urban areas: it's everywhere, doesn't require human interaction to spread and can even grow in garbage dumps thus banning would be like banning trees. The other factor is that there is an extremely high OD rate with the Datura that usually outweighs the psychological effects.

"unlike mushrooms which grow only in certain areas" you mean like fields and woodlands ya know like datura and btw mushrooms don't need human interaction to spread, the wind does a pretty good job of that them spores travel miles on the smallest of winds animals help too.

Your just ignorant to the facts and now your argument is "Legalization or prohibition of drugs are only possible if the majority agrees" That is true but only because of ignorant people like who clearly never tried them and spout shit about it killing you.

I'm not spouting shit, I'm expressing my opinion unlike you who has to angrily comment on every post of mine to make an argument. The thing is, that the majority of people don't live in fields and woodland areas, they live in cities, urban areas and daturas grow there as well.

Regarding the legalization, I have my own opinion and many people do have the same one. And if the majority doesn't want  to see people tripping balls everywhere they go, deal with it. And if you can't live without such substances, move somewhere you do. I think the main reason people don't want to legalize it is the fact of the trip. Any drugs causing hallucinations (good or bad), that is altering how one sees reality, aren't taken upon lightly since any drug altering behavior causes psychological addictions. Another thing might be pushing the boundaries: allow weed, they demand shrooms; allow shrooms, they demand LSD and so on.

OMG when shrooms was legal where I am not once did I see anyone tripping balls everywhere they go  . Some of the propaganda stuff you come out is laughable. psychological addictions don't happen with shrooms it's not possible to get addicted to them. You may have your opinion but it's not based on facts just fantasy propaganda...I don't take them anymore so don't need to move anywhere that and if I wanted too I could just grow them

Yes, it would not be a big deal for most people, maybe occasional use.
