Stupid English News Item Provides Stupid Shroom Mis-Info
    #2225978 - 01/07/04 01:07 PM (20 years, 2 months ago)

Okay gang,

I tried to post i this in the News Service Forum only it is not working. Later someone here can send it tot he News Service Forum.

I was adding several new Items of interst to my web site Grape Vine which provides views with news items related to magic shrooms beginning in the late 1700s and up to the presnt time.

I came across this old one filled with misinformation. A second article preceeding this one said that shrooms were like heroin, but this one takes the cake.

I hope everyone enjoys a good laugh at the stupidity of the Daily Telegraph in as much as they report that the information came from their Science Correspondant

[MJ wonders what school of thought this person attended to become a Science Correspondant]

Read and laugh.

The Daily Telegraph
Friday November 18, 1977

Happy Trance
'Sacred Mushroom'

Our Science Correspondant writes: Psilocin, whose effects are more similar to the hallucinogen LSD than to heroin, was an ingredient of the sacred mushrooms of Mexico, sometimes eaten by people who were about to be sacrificed to the Aztec War God.

The victem, his visual senses flooded with marvellous intensification of light and colour, walked up the steps of sacrafice in a happy trance, careless of the agony that was to come.

Many people, some for respectable scientific reasons, have for many years, been bringing the spores of Mexican mushrooms to grow them in Britain. A cross between ordinary mushrooms and toadstools, they can be recognized by their orange spots.

Excuse the French, but what the fuck is he talking about; Orange Spots , my ass.

I am also still adding three more articles today to the English section o my grape vine news items.

They were never eaten by victems being sacraficed to Aztec War Gods. ANd the beginning of that sentence

In 1977, people were picking liberty caps in UK and they were not growing shrooms in UK i until High TImes and home grown sold kits in UK to grow them with spores from Mexico but noit from English people going to Mexico to get spores.

And furthermore, a statement such calling the magic shrooms as

is absolutely stupid.

You have proof that sacrifice victims didnt eat mushrooms? Id be surprised if they didnt. The mushrooms were considered holy, the sacrices were considered holy. It makes sense they would put them together doesnt it??

It seems highly likely that many scientists from the UK would have visited south america before 1977. I wouldnt be at all surprised if some of them brought spores back and cultivated them. Of course most people would have simply picked liberty caps.

Thats a bit harsh! Surely it was just a poorly constructed metaphor!  :grin:

Haha this doesnt suprise me at all! Typically, the guardian wrote a well-informed article on mushrooms: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,1095822,00.html , but the telegraph can only manage a poorly researched piece. I can see many newspapers doing the same and I suspect shrooms will be illegal within the next couple of years :frown:

lol, 2 holys must go together! heaven is holy to christians and so is helping people. does it make sense that christians kill themselves when they help people?

its ridiculous to say that the aztecs did this or that. there is limited information about their culture and expecially their religion.

"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest--a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."

You think someone tripping would 'walk up the steps of sacrafice in a happy trance, careless of the agony that was to come'?

I have studied the Florentince Codices and others from the Nahuautl to the Spanish and to the English. Aztec pries served shrooms to visiting dignitaries at moctozuma's coronation. And they considered them as God's Flesh buit they did not use them to see god. That is only a Western Civilizations viewpoint of t what they did.

And that article was written by no expert of anything. There was very limited knowledge in 1977.. Only about a total of six hundred scientific publisherd papaers and only fifty reference to the sacred mushrooms between 1545 and 1900 A.D.

I have studied the role of shaman and m3edicine man, brujo, cunranderos, etc of the Aztec, Olmec, Toltec, and of the mazatec for many years.

the sacrificial victems did not partake of shrooms.

This could be handy for growers... imagine someone stumbling onto a grow.

"They can't be the illegal type of mushroom, they don't have orange spots!"

"A nation's hope of lasting peace cannot be firmly based upon any race in armaments but rather upon just relations and honest understanding with all other nations...

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed... The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. We pay for a single fighter with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people..."

They can't be an illegal type of mushroom because it's legal to grow *all* mushrooms here  :cool:
