What makes someone oppose mushrooms?

Ever talk to anyone you know, that is just completely opposed to you doing mushrooms? I know one of the prime factors is ignorance, but what makes people so holier than thou about it? To me it just makes someone look like a complete fool, if they're opposed to something so harmless as say, cannabis or mushrooms. When you've got alcohol and tobacco, that they don't seem to care if that exists. Its very annoying and frankly, I find their lack of faith disturbing. I mean it really is disturbing, that someone would just completely and utterly write off something they know very little about. Its not how a sane and logical mind works. Its just not. And all the while, if they ever used it, there is a strong chance that they'd appreciate it for the reasons that we do.
I'm frustrated, irritated, annoyed, and slightly disturbed by this. And I'd like to hear what you have to say.

They have good reasons for it. Shrooms make you gay.

I had a friend who said mushrooms would fuck up my head, and "besides, they're illegal." This came from someone who smoked weed for the past thirty years, and who can't remember how she drove home after drinking at party.
I dated a girl (half my age) who told me she wasn't going to let me try shrooms. I think that relationship ended that night.
Some say they "knew people" who had bad trips, but couldn't provide any stories or details.
When I was young, I was super anti-drug, but that was due to brainwashing from people around me. Now that I've experienced shrooms personally, and through interactions with the druggies here (JK), I have a more accurate and detailed education about them.
All I can do now is tell others my stories, and of my wonderful experiences I've had, in hopes they listen, understand, and want to "learn" more. Some have, and some won't.

I got my therapist to be thankful for my psychedelic trips today. Even though she made me sign a contract not to touch any psychs while I am seeing her. She has always seemed genuinly afraid of them. I talk about them openly however and I stress how they led me on the path towards healing, of which her sessions are just one part. I don't obsess over them or anything but whenever applicable I'll tell a story related to a psychedelic epiphany. It's easy to tell that she is sometimes impressed with the kind of insight these substances can give.
But she probably still thinks I am a closeted homosexual after all these shroom trips.

It's not an attempt at a joke. I believe it to be the truth. Every time someone posts something like this in SA, it comes to light later the OP is young, still lives at home and the oppressor is their parents.
Why else would you need to post this anonymously?

Like the popo cares about mushrooms. Don't invite them in your house and you'll be fine.

Ah, well none of that is correct. Don't live at home, not gay, parents live in a different state. There isn't any oppressor, and I thought the OP was pretty clear that I was talking about when speaking to other people, such as friends. My family is a bunch of holy rollers, so it would be a lost cause even mentioning anything like this to them.

Hallucinogens are all demonized by western culture. It's mainly because the church would condemn it as devilish or pagan(even though early christian sacraments were hallucinogenic).
It's mainly ignorance though. You have to just state that it's safer than the majority of things you eat throughout the day. Well physically anyways.
Also i wouldn't consider tobacco inherently bad, its pretty hard to die from it directly, but it can be heavily abused. I use tobacco as a sacrament.

lol the amount of people who are against shroom that have said to me
'i know someone who is in a mental hospital for the rest of his life because of shrooms...'
do they realise how nuts you need to be to be locked up for life!
its very rare! a tiny % of the population ever have severe mental issues and then a tiny fraction of them need to be sectioned and then a tiny fraction of them stay for life!
and why do only the people who have nothing to do with shrooms know these people?
when you can come on here and be surrounded by people who frequently take them and never hear of them be locked up indefinitly!
you would think if it was that bad
we would all have a higher probability of knowing people who was locked up because of shrooms!
and yet somehow these straight head anti mushroom fanatics seem to hang with the hardcore boomer takers lol and witness this scenario first hand lol
maybe they are there just to convert and save the poor trippers lol
give me a break. yeah you all know someone.. blah ...blah
mental hospitals full to busting with teens who never recover from there heroic dose and now eat their own fecal matter while claiming to be jesus.

Well the mental hospital thing was just a bunch of propaganda that people told around.
Psychedelic users are harder to come by then people who smoke weed. The facts are out on weed, psychedelics will probably reach a similar point in 10-20 years. From what I've seen, the media doesn't really talk shit about mushrooms(lsd all the time though). The worst I've ever heard was they mkght cause bad trips or "flashbacks". Mushrooms and cactus are always referenced in the media as something funny or goofy. Almost always in a respectful way.

yeah i remember when was younger people saying the flashback thing
i think it was from a few people experiencing a sort mini psychosis and seeing similarity's and blaming the shrooms they had in the past as that was the closest thing they had to relate too.
blame the shrooms rather than their own body and dopamine gland why not

I think they just call hppd "flashbacks". My friend said he got a flashback a few days after a mushroom trip, just said the walls got wavy for a second and a slight pattern.
Maybe they're talking about the same thing but flashbacks are just way over exaggerated.

I think when it comes down to it, the very idea of a hallucination and some kind of seperation from our known reality is very scary for some people.

There are "mycophobic" and "mycophillic" cultures globally...
Western cultures are mycophobic, they are taught as children to avoid mushrooms, they are told they are dangerous or dirty and are not to be handled or consumed.
I think this initial cultural programming may play a large role in those who refuse the fungi...
Then there's things like stomach issues, or some people gag and can't even swallow the damn things, so it may physical...
Then there's people who think having their ontological structure pulled out from under them is horrible, so psychedelics naturally don't mix with their mental constructs...
These compounds are "mind drugs", so if a person isn't all that bright, they probably won't like psychedelics, people who don't like to use their mind will not like psychedelics, these are thinking man's compounds, and if you don't have much consciousness to expand, or are not capable of intellectual or abstract thought, then psychedelics won't do much for you...if you can't grasp the implications then what's the point. (I'm not talking about "book smart" here though, I'm speaking of true intelligence, and if you don't have it then psychedelics won't interest you)
