You are not reading my posts,smoke,chew,inhale anything you like in headshops, don't expect me to pick up the tab.



What i said...

Its this point I have issue with. Do you think anybody is taking substances from head shops while thinking "at least if I get sick,FlutterinBantam/Darkjagers taxes will help me out?". I'd highly doubt it. Do you think the same when you overdo the pints? Again, I'd doubt it.

Personally, I have no time for the idiots who go and get plastered on alcohol every weekend, then end up in hospital because they couldn't ****ing behave in an "acceptable" fashion, but my taxes are being wasted patching these pricks up every single weekend, and I'd doubt any of them give a **** about that.

It's the head shops fault Magic Mushrooms are illegal. Profiteering bastards.

What I am missing is my tax money paying to "sort out " those knuckle draggers who get fcuked up by the head shop stuff.

Fcuk yourself up all you like pilgrim,go the whole hog,but don't expect ME to pay

yeah, they will be putting the stuff in babies bottles next.

Emmm what you talking about? I've never been into a "head shop" in my life. Just commenting on the fact that i cant understand the whole point of sending a 14 and 16 year old girl into a shop to buy something that's not illegal. I mean RTE might as well of made a programme about a 14 year old going into Spar and buying a packet of tayto...thats what im missing.

I think it is illegal. Or it's illegal to have them on you, so I suppose picking them you mean you have them on you unless you eat them right away which would be a bad idea, what with all the sheep crap on them.

During my "teenage" years, we used to bring tents up to a certain field in the Dublin mountains and camp there overnight so at the break of dawn the next morning we would get the most ripe and best magic mushrooms. Used to save some for sure but would always just pick and eat straight away also.

Fun times though trying to find the way home, was an awful long long walk from the Dublin mountains out of your head with usually a couple of people in the horrors along with it.

For sure there was a lot of worms in the mushrooms, didn't really bother anyone about the sheep shít though. Or maybe the worms were in the shít, never really found out.

Nah, you can't wash them really as the bulk of the LSD (or whatever it is, pyscoblin or something) is on the hairs. So we all believed at the time anyway, dunno if that's actual fact though.

To be honest, we only found out about all the worms in the mushrooms after making a pot of tea with a bag of them, loads and loads of these little white things rose to the top of the cups after pouring.
After closer inspection on further pickings you could actually see them if you looked close enough.

Still though, nobody cared. It did become harder to eat them raw and most of us would make crisp sandwiches packed full of mushrooms to make them easier to swallow.

Even after some bad trips, I still think I had some of the most fantastic days and nights off my head as a teenager on mushrooms, nothing ever compared.
Made me more spiritual also and gave me a deep interest in the human brain itself and what it could do. When mass halucinations happened they were fabulous, nothing better than 10+ people all halucinating at giant 4 foot rabbits with big teeth running after you on Killiney hill

Anyway, really pisses me off that they made a natural thing like magic mushrooms illegal. Fair enough maybe at the pushing of them and the stronger types from around the world but the natural stuff you can pick a few months of the year yourself ? Nah, that's rediculous that they've made them illegal

I agree.

Was reading about the banning of psilocybin in the netherlands and some grower was complaining about his livelyhood disappearing.

Turns out he grew something like 25 tonnes of mushrooms a year (no exaggeration, got it off a dutch news agency) but my point is that mushrooms are viewed as a psychadelic drug. Isnt it against the very ethics of the whole psychadelic culture for some wanker to be making collosal money per annum from the product.
