Ive met a black guy thats been in a state prison for 5 years, and ran guns and dealt drugs, he is now 36 and doesn't do that kind of stuff anymore, but he loves mushrooms, says they've opened his mind to so much more.
I think it has more to do with how far their willing to go when it come to higher states of consciousness.

I don't need it anymore. Master Shake: What if it's a golden egg? Carl: Heh, how about you crack it open with your teeth, and see if it is? Master Shake: (chomps) Ugh, it's not! Carl: (laughs) Sucker. EVERYTHING I POST IS FICTION

Its a cultural thing.
What isnt exactly helping is that the main source of shrooms info on the web, The Shroomery, has 153 instances of the word "nigger" in the past 7 days, almost all of them used in casual derogatory way, and we have a whole bunch of potentially racially offensive graemlins to liven up posts with.
I could say the same about few female trippers, and the unwelcoming/awkward climate the Shroomery in some forums offers them.
The Shroomery is great at many things, but one area we fail at is being welcoming to "minorities".
But lets not forget that many many drug people of any background shun psychedelics.
The Shroomery too has drug taboos. Write about steroids here and you'll get dismissive responses like its a church forum.
If we want more people of any non young/white/heterosexual/american/male background tripping, we should start being more welcoming to them.

Definitely cultural, definitely has a lot to do with the mainstay of "urban culture" being focused on cannabis, cigarettes, alcohol and then of course heroin and cocaine (sold by some used by others).
It's difficult if not impossible to use psychedelics while being a part of that environment.
It's like asking why more cops don't use psychedelics lol. You can't have a head of acid and be anywhere around a bunch of urban black folk. People will bust your balls and maybe even hit you (in jest) if they catch you slipping.
There's a credo that one should always be "at optimal". Some people only do drugs at parties, some people smoke weed on the block all day long and some only clock dollars and don't use drugs or alcohol at all. In any case, being intoxicated on psychedelics means you can't pay attention to a LOT of important shit happening around you (drugs sales to make, cops to look out for, rivals to look out for, etc.).
Psychedelics are viewed as "hard drugs", more akin to cocaine or heroin than weed or syrup (yeah I know, syrup = opiates, but it is perceived as a "softer drug"). Most urban black youth stay away from hard drugs because of what's happened to their parents and other family members in addition to the fact that using hard drugs means that no youth will trust you "Awww that nigga be gettin high (opiates/cocaine)" is a phrase that, if true, could easily see you losing all rapport with any of your contacts.
No one wants to be around someone that gets high on hard drugs except other hard drug users or purveyors of such drugs. Psychedelics are viewed as "hard" owing to their ability to influence the mind.

EGO. simply put. The "hard thug" types do not want their ego to be dissolved. It would be like they are weak and they DO NOT want to EVER appear weak in any way period. They see how the people trip and are all lovey and wow at everything. This would allow the other alpha males to swoop down and kill/maim them and make them submissive under the influence of the drug/mushroom. Just my two "sense".

Humility is very correct in saying that its an "urban culture" thing.
I've met some black guys before that you could tell didn't have a lick of ghettoness in them. They enjoyed tripping in almost any fashion. But when i hit up my guys in the neighborhood and ask them if they wanted to try some shrooms they just take a few steps back and will tell you "hell naw!"
As a community here as the shroomery i think we should make it our new mission to introduce psychedelics to the urban community. We can call it OPERATION NIGGALLUCINATE.

Lol that's ridiculous man, it'd be like saying the same thing about Azn groups or Hispanic groups or European Immigrant communities during the 1800s and at the turn of the 20th century.
Like attracts like and culture is pervasive. They don't actively define their culture by their race but rather they're swimming in an ocean of ghetto culture. It's a passive thing that happens as you live your life, not necessarily something that you "choose" to do.
A GREAT example of cultural diversity today is New York, NY. You can be from any ethnic minority and belong to any other. There are black jews and jewish rappers (beastie boys), das racist, "upscale" art and living, street culture and art that excels that which is showcased in the most elegant displayrooms etc. etc.
In places with less cultural diversity and less social mobility (oh I dunno, say the middle of the ghetto?) you affix yourself to whatever cultural particles are floating around. There isn't as much deciding or choice involved.
Thank God I was blessed with the Internet. Whenever I explain myself to people I make sure to note the Internet's influence in my ability to assimilate vast amounts of knowledge and cultural info from over the world to build the I that I desire to be.

Also somewhat unfortunate I think, but in the end I think its a youth thing to latch onto a superficial aspect as your culture. People grow out of that.

Depends, are we saying black people or are we saying niggers?
I'm sure most of you know what I'm getting at. I've known black people who trip and are part of a respectable culture. I have never met a nigger who tripped though

I disagree. That is how much of the old world works, not the new world.
We once had a foreign exchange student from France for a year. He was the same race as me, but we were so different culturally we didnt interact much at all. My friend who was racially east Indian but grew up down the street from me had more in common with me than the white guy from France.
Culture is only by race in places where people racially segregate themselves. This happens most in the old world by virtue of their history. The new world, from the tip of south america all the way to alaska, is filled with racially integrated communities that dont define themselves based off of their race.

This thread was jokingly started. But i like where its goin. N it is a race thing. White people do shrooms. Blacks do heroine n crack. Mexicans like coke. Chineese opium. Africans do ayahuasca n japs do math. Weed is universally loved. But it breaks down by subculture to. See smart white people do shrooms n cid as dumb redneck types luv them some crystal. Lol. None of this is serious y'all. I know it all competition down to who u r as a person. My house for instance has a psychonaut. That's me. Heroine addict. Alcoholic n just a straight up drug addict who will take anything. Idk where his rent even comes from n Were all white and grew up in same area
