Why not, belgz? Apparently, you trusted the propagandists who told you "magic mushrooms" were harmful. So, why not trust a brilliant man with a big heart who has actually had first-hand experience with them, and has spent three decades researching their use? According to the evidence we already have at hand, psilocybin mushrooms have been used for many hundreds, if not thousands, of years to promote peaceful and deeply spiritual conditions within shamanic communities. At least listen to what he has to say. The existence of our species may depend upon it. And, who knows, maybe if you listen closely you might discover an opportunity to actually see God within your lifetime.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mReRUfZf0_w "I particularly like speaking to very conservative groups, where I 'm introduced with everything except psychedelics. 'He was at Harvard and did research on consciousness, and went to India." And, what happened, something's missing. I get up and I say, 'The most significant single event of my life happened on March 6, 1961 when Tim Leary gave me psilocybin.' And I can feel the lips [in the crowd] get very tight. And I say, 'I've taken it hundreds of times since then; LSD and all of them. And so you must assume that anybody who's done that must be psychotic. But I would point out that you paid to come hear me.'... And I can honestly say that what happened to me in 1961 was so - whatever it was, I am still growing into it now. That it has guided the course of my life. That it cut through at such a profound level my ability to keep people as them. And though I've tried (because this culture is very good at keeping everybody as them, so that you're almost totally alienated), whatever it was that happened to me then keeps undercutting my ability to distance myself from other people in my mind without realizing I'm doing a mind-trip on myself. Because the inner validity of the experience of us was so profound." ~ Ram Dass (Richard Alpert)
