What a joke this country is becoming. As if the country doesn't smoke enough marijuana and eat enough terrible food, now California-linked biotechnology elites are filing for Initial Public Offerings as they see a 51 million market for their psychedelic drugs.

Citing “These people have been suffering for decades,” and family members who have depression bio-tech companies are researching ways to get very rich and addict 51 million Americans on magic mushrooms as marijuana profits have declined because of all the competition.

I've never known anyone to get addicted to those.

More like just get sick of eating them.

I tried mushrooms once back in the early 80's. I ate some with a guy I worked with and went for a walk. After 30 minutes or so I became extremely paranoid about the person I was with. I told him I wasn't feeling well, went home and watched a football game for about 2 hours until I regained my rational mind. I never tried mushrooms after that, but used LSD a couple times after that. All I can say about LSD is that they make Zap comics funny as hell! I haven't used Hallucinogens since then and don't really miss the experience.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

The stories will be insane.

Because heres the thing.
1 mg - good for PTSD but most people wont notice. Great for depression etc.
2.5 mg - the walls are breathing
4 mg - the walls are breathing, and youre observing that your stuffed animal is eating the pillow.
8 mg - your brain disassociates to the point where "ego death" occurs. basically your neural network is firing of in unusual ways.

That last one? Thats where the insane stories will come from. Remember the reporter who ate 10X the recommended dose of edibles? That would be like 25mg if someone did it with this. utterly insane stories from stupid people.

I used both in my youth.

What I recall is them being very similar, except that mushrooms generally weren't as strong and didn't last as long as LSD.

Also, if you tried to drink on shrooms the same way you could drink on acid, you'd end up passing out before your trip was done.

Mushrooms addictive? Gmafb. Nothing could be further from the truth. Emerging research is showing very promising results with various psychedelics, so this development is a positive.

Do you mean grams?

Because I knew people who would eat up to 7 or 8 grams. Crazy to me, nothing special to them.

Does anyone know what good pricing is for a magic mushroom chocolate bat that has 4grams of psilocybin? I looks like that is maybe 3 decent doses. It is starting to become available like marijuana products, not sure what good pricing is yet.

Things that naturally grow in the earth tend to be better for you than things cooked up in a lab. This applies to both food and drugs.
Cobra venom is a natural product. I won’t be using it as a home remedy anytime soon.

It can't be any worse than the brain disease that's going around now called liberalism. Maybe they'll be too stoned of their mind to vote for another Democrat if they're high on mushrooms,

The comparison is absurd.
