I just feel its time to take the fringe mysticism out of the way that mainstream society views these substances and give them some well deserved grounded context. If I guide a newbie through his first cubensis grow, and am able to see the fruits of my labor, how is it different than guiding that same newbie through his first trip, instead of seeing the mushrooms, I see that he had a safe, fun, enlightening good experience. I believe there are fundamentals (that most of us know well) that could be exercised in this manner. There are also newbs guiding newbs, with bad advice, giving are sacred substances a bad name. Shouldn't these powerful tools be in trusted hands?

No. Not over the Internet.
Too many variables. An experienced Shroomery guide has a better chance of giving good advice, but they can not look at or feel the person. They are not professionals. They may be drunk or moody when they post advice.
The term "Guide" in this context actually referred to trained medical professionals when psychedelics were legal.
Like I said, I had the same idea a while ago. It just will not work here, for legitimate legal reasons.
The Shroomery will not and should not endorse a pseudoscientific, psychological, online diagnoses, from anyone as fact, no matter how trusted they are.

Because you're not there. Trips develop problems easily, and without experience or a sitters intervention they can go south in a big way quickly. The best defense against freaking out is experience, but there's only one way to get it - and even that's no guarantee. You have to be ready for anything and be able to roll with it.

This makes a lot of sense to me.
