Lets Start With The Dope Before The Psilocybin

[roadman]

how can he consider legalising magic mushrooms if cannabis is illegal when magic mushrooms are more dangerous

[bednobs]

how are you expecting roadman to do research that doesnt involve google - is he going to go to the library? is he going to take the substances then come back and tell us his findings

[Atheist]

Pixie; I'm a long term dopehead. End of! :-)

[naomi24]

Why shouldn’t roadman’s research involve google?

[pixie374]

No genuine research involves Google! He is making claims that magic mushrooms are more dangerous than cannabis.
Surely, that deserves at least some explanation?

[naomi24]

No genuine research involves google? Where on earth did you get that from?

[pixie374]

Good for you, atheist:-).
Naomi, because - and please let me know if you have never seen it yourself.... that years of genuine research, don't quite match up with someones quick Google.
Particularly, as it isn't always right.

[naomi24]

Nonsense. There’s a lot of stuff that isn’t right there but there’s also a mound of research papers on practically any subject you’d care to name. Where do you want him to conduct his research and how do you suggest he presents it to you for your approval?

[pixie374]

And how do you know which is which? He doesn't need my approval. I asked him why "magic mushrooms are more dangerous than cannabis".
Entirely his own claim, but, refuses to answer.

[naomi24]

I’ll ask again. How do you expect him to present you with evidence if googling isn’t good enough for you? I’ll leave you with that thought before this gets any sillier.

[pixie374]

Anyone can find anything that supports them on the Internet. Genuinely surprised you find a Google equal to understanding or knowledge.
Live and learn :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Your reasoning doesn't add up Pixie - there are many many scholarly academic articles and research papers available on the internet.

Are you really saying that they are all invalid because of the way one might access them?

[pixie374]

Of course not, mamya. I'm saying a quick Google isn't "research"
In any case, he can't answer, so I left him alone.

[Mozz71]

//No genuine research involves Google!//

What absolute claptrap.

[Mamyalynne]

You did but only after a good slapping with a wet haddock and some smilies.

Thanks for clarifying.

[Mamyalynne]

^ That to Pixie

[pixie374]

Sorry mamya, I don't consider a quick Google "research", which is why I said that to him.
Genuinely, I am interested in
how mushrooms are "more dangerous'. But thank you for understanding what I meant- and not automatically thinking the worst x

[Mamyalynne]

Google (other search engines are available) is an veritable gateway to some marvellous research.

[pixie374]

It is, partially.

[roadman]

Pixie if you provide your research maybe i could read that or a case study cannabis hasnt been regulated long enough to be able to do a large amount of research on the long term affects of regulated cannabis

I did say that the danger is when they are on the drug people have hurt themselves on mushrooms thinking they can fly or ending up in the road because the lights seem pretty i dont think that would happen from cannbis it is not a hallucinogenic in the same way

[curlygirlies]

Magic mushrooms are far more dangerous than weed.
