"It is the only safe organic means of expanding consciousness I know of

Said it before, say it again..

bollox is it safe...!!!!!

I've seen what it did to friends and acquaintances in my teen years social circle...

It also f@cked my head up more negatively, than any positives you are irresponsibly celebrating...

Experiences at 17 - 19 were still causing flashbacks and anxiety attacks into my early 20s...

Teenage experimental years are the worse possible time
to be messing up adolescent underdeveloped brain chemistry and electrical circuits
with hallucinogenic drugs..

Maybe, when an adult brain is properly fully grown and developed.
Then, and only then, might mushrooms be 'safer' to experiment with...???

If anything, mushrooms are more likely to destroy an intelligent teenager's
ability to develop independent mature reasoning...
