So I know for a fact that a bunch of kids have shroomery accounts because ive meet a few in real life. One day I was walking down the street and I saw some kid looking at mushrooms he was like 14 I stopped and said "what's up" out of general interest in the fungus and the kid said he was "admiring the mushrooms" (which I knew were agaricus) so I told them what they were then he said "well im going to check with this website I know" thats when I found out a 14 year old was a member of shroomery it kinda surprised me and my brothers friend (who is 14) says he is on here all the time doing the same thing.

But the thing is if kids couldn't use this site they could never get a proper ID which would be worse than them eating some shrooms (something ive done since I was 14). So seeing as shroomy is not completely focused on "stoner propaganda" and can actually save a novices life why do we not allow kids? Like I get they should not be eating shrooms but still having a proper resource about the effects or what their eating could possibly save their life which is not worse than them tripping. My brother is 15 and he hangs out with this stoner kid who smokes me down and hooks me up with L (he is like 16 and his moms a deadhead who has L laying around) from time to time but one day we blazed a bowl and he found some mushroom he called "chicken of the woods" and ate it right in front of me it was gone before I could blink. I had a stern talking to this kid luckily he was right they were gymnopilus junonius which are active but still kids who do this shit need to know about this shit.

So why is it a rule that they can't be here because they still do shrooms and hunt them as well so having an age limit seems like something keeping them from info they need. what do you guys think?  (on a side note dont go telling kids to join that's against the rules this post is more of a question as to why it is when it could save lives and I never encourage kids to join because the mods would be so madddd)

So either you are under age which is the mostly likely or you get drug hook ups from  kids which is pretty scummy.

So are you some scummy 20 something that hangs out with kids


You have two choices choose wisely

Kids can just lie and get on the site or lurk anyways. The shroomerys ass is covered legally this way. That's my guess.

The information on the site is available to underage users, they just aren't allowed to join and ask questions for legal liability reasons (i.e. if they do something stupid the parents might sue.) In practice quite a few members here are probably underage, and as long as they don't make this fact obvious, they don't put the site staff in a position where they must ban them to protect the site legally.
