    I know this is dadjokes, and maybe I’m just being a stickler, but I’m really just tired of the whole “you see scary hallucinations on psychedelics” trope. Maybe because mushrooms have been key to me finally finding peace and joy in my life, and I don’t like when misconceptions about these wonderful drugs spread over the internet.

      I see the main issue as, some people who might be considering taking psychedelics end up thinking the visual hallucinations are the main thing that will happen, when the internal stuff is way more intense even if you only took enough for very mild visuals. Since these drugs have a profound and potentially lasting effect on your mind and perspective, even though it’s generally positive, people should have a better idea than that what they’re getting into, in the interest of informed consent.

      Seems like you could benefit from a bit more shrooms, to learn up take jokes about them a bit more lightheartedly ;)
