Since the popularization of medical marijuana, scientists are looking to magic mushrooms as another remedy for mental illness. Supposedly magic mushroom festivals are going to be held across the country to promote mushroom awareness or something...sounds kind of cool but i'm just interested scoring some mushies. Who knows maybe they'll be legal in a few years

Comedian Ari Schaffir popularized magic mushroom day. It's called "shroom fest". Not sure what day it is.

We're living in a very liberal age right now, but societal attitudes are cyclical. For example, the 1960s were liberal as fuck, but then in the 1980s, the next generation took over, and society became more conservative. Then around 2005 or 2010 the tides turned and the modern liberal era began. There will be a backlash against it, as always, and we will see much of the recent "progress" overturned.

If were going to have a "Magic Mushroom Day" the autumnal equinox 23/9 would be more apt.
Afterall. We all use the 12/12 light cycle when fruiting our cubensis, the worlds most commonly grown 'magical mushroom', do we not?

You think so?
Why would children of liberal upbringing go all GOP? Not doubting you, but damn... I mean, were the 60s actually this liberal, or just a small minority making a big scene of it?

Perhaps it's a matter of children "rebelling" and choosing the alternative stance than their parents...?

Yes, I think so, but I have no data to back it up. It's just a trend I've noticed.
When I said "liberal" and "conservative" I didn't mean it in strictly a political sense. I meant it in every sense. I think kids tend to shed the more extreme views of the previous generation, whatever those may be. I gather that opinions on race, religion and drugs in the 60s really opened up. Then I presume the children of those people felt like they missed out on structure growing up, and so they got all conservative on their own kids in the 80s and 90s. Then the children of those people (which would be many of us) felt restricted in their upbringing, and so decided to give their children a more liberal upbringing.
What I'm ultimately getting at is that people shouldn't assume that just because society is getting more liberal it's going to continue in that direction. I think it bounces back and forth, just as the party controlling Congress and the white house goes back and forth.
For example, people are acting like it's the best time in history to be gay, but there were societies of antiquity that were completely cool with gays and trannies. In the future, I think there will be many more societies like that, and also many societies that are anti-homo, as ours was up until quite recently.
But what do I know? It's just something I've been reflecting on.

Re:Capers..
I think you nailed it. I don't think there has ever been a "good time to be gay" in the USA... Shit, a kid got got wrecked yesterday for being gay. 4 dudes almost (maybe did) killed him returning from a Pride rally.
But yeah, it's getting better for sure, but I can see why one would think of it in terms of elasticity. Thankfully, I think the elastic is getting stretched and won't lose too much ground between our and our grandchildren's generation.

The whole 9/20 thing was neat.
It came out of nowhere but it's cool even though the people behind it are just curious individuals as opposed to actual psychonauts.
Most of the people I met at the 9/20 convention don't trip. I'm not saying they have the wrong idea about psychedelics but they definitively aren't seasoned to be sharing hands on info about psychs. I got the feelings that these guys think psychedelics are this magic pill. I don't think these people truly know what is on the other side nor are prepared to handle it that's just based off my personal convo with them and with psychedelics.

And, here is the article:
Quote:
A new psychedelic holiday has been declared for this Sunday as cities around the world host the first annual 9/20 Psilocybin Mushroom Day. With a rallying cry of “Mushrooms are Medicine,” the locally organized events will feature a swathe of educational lectures, workshops and film screenings to help raise awareness and activism for the psychoactive mushroom.
The day began as an idea from activist and psychedelic advocate Nicholas Reville after realizing that mushrooms are well positioned to gain greater social acceptance like medical marijuana has done in recent years, but had no coalescing point like Bicycle Day for LSD or 4/20 for cannabis. Since mushrooms are not a part of daily life like smoking weed, Reville wanted to create a focal point of a single day for people to come together and say they care about the potential of psychoactive mushrooms and meet others who agree. Around him grew a coalition of 9/20 founders who organized a host of events to show the grassroots pressure to normalize mushrooms as a medicine, sacrament and basic human right.
With over 30 events around the world, each with its own unique flavor, the organizers did not want to create a centralized structure but instead to allow each event to grow organically, tied together by a focus on awareness and education. The project began to lift off after Reville reached out to Students for a Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), an organization that acts as a training ground for young drug reform activists at the university level. Members will host events in DC, Virginia Tech, UC Davis and a number of other campuses, though the largest gathering might be in Mexico City, a fitting tribute to the country with some of the longest running sacred mushroom traditions in the world.
At the event thrown by Reville in Providence, RI (and a few of the others), they'll be screening Little Saints, a film by Oliver Quintilla about six people who travel to Mexico to meet a local Mazatec shaman named Natalia for a session for healing. It hints at the potential future of mushrooms and other psychedelic as tools for both physical ailments and psychological difficulties. As Western peer-reviewed research finally starts to study the power of psilocybin and psilocin (the active ingredients in the magic mushrooms most known in the United States), current science is rediscovering the mushroom's uses for mental ailments, addiction and anxiety around the end of life.
The event in Montreal hosted by Psymposia and the Canadian arm of SSDP features MAPS founder Rick Doblin and Katherine MacLean sharing the medical research on magic mushrooms, a psychedelic storytelling session on Saturday night, and holotropic breathwork for the participants. Over in the rising psychedelic hotbed of Detroit, the Women & Entheogen's Conference continues its work with lectures on sex and psilocybin, a poetry session and a workshop on growing your own mushrooms.
The 9/20 event is focused on spreading awareness of the medical and mental benefits available from a freely available fungi and the notion that we have an inalienable human right to alter our own consciousness as we please.

it's becuz politicians are nerds that don't know about this site... or the internet.
the DEA doesn't care becuase there are so many steps involved it'd be crazy to police something in which people clearly know what they're doing, salvia was different becuase people would think it'was weed
