They openly admit to being in 'school', living with 'parents', and various other things.
Shroomery is a great place but I feel that the abundance of under age kids is high.

Honestly the irony of this is that you can't be a day over 18 by the way you act. If you are older than that you must be very immature.
Just listen to yourself, what is your point? You haven't even been here long enough to properly gauge the demographics here, and even if you had been you don't exactly make a strong argument.

You draw conclusions with little to back them up and make false assumptions based on irrelevant variables.
"Why is the shroomery full of children?" Is a fucking stupid question to ask when you assert that people here must be children if they live with their parents 
It shows a naive worldview, usually found in adolescents. That's the irony and it's brilliant.

 So who's butthurt?
I don't need to act like I'm a certain age, all of the regulars here know the gist of that. Yeah you'll get 5 from me if you ever say something worth saying. You have yet to.

This thread was made to discuss why there are kids on the shroomery, which there is. Most people misunderstood that and turned it around, making it about living with parents.
I don't see the problem in pointing out a problem. I think everyone is over reacting because they are themselves kids, immature and are frightened of how immoral advocating drug use is.

You remind of those 12 year old kids on gaming chats who make fun of other squeakers, calling them 8 year olds. And meanwhile the rest of the adults are laughing at ALL OF THEM COMBINED.

 I'm guessing the real adults don't come on the shroomery then.
I'm not trying to cause the shroomery hassle, I am simply trying to elaborate on a subject. I could go further and say, why isn't there stricter control on the internet in general.

You should have used more references in your op then. This happens all the time here, every subsequent post on something like that can be seen as you being defensive when you get jumped on for one of your claims. And that often is the case. Could have been prevented by elaborating in the op man.
I dont understand your 2nd paragraph. Are you okay with underage users or do you think something should be done about it?

You seem to have no understanding of this post like most others.

Why is it certain members get raging and jealous reading a post of an open minded person. Then they proceed to call them names in order to feel better?
See no one really likes to hear the holier than thou shit from someone who can't present a decent argument. And then blames everyone else for their failed communication.

Yes, I'm not the best in explaining things. But I have found it amusing reading everyone's response in the mean time.
I think the shroomery, should essentially have this lower age limit. Say 18+ or 21+ to stop younger people from becoming involved when they haven't yet started in life. The ones who live with their parents and whom post about using psychedelics.
The second part was targeted at the underage and young ones themselves. They are becoming agitated I guess, because I posted something that would see them in the wrong.

Well admins and mods DO remove people they can confirm are underage. I'm not sure there's a better way to do it as many in the thread have shared how hard it is to tell the age of a person without the dead giveaways.
Being in school isn't a give away either. There's plenty of 18-19 year olds still in high school. And this is common for drug users especially since they often fall behind in school.

At least they are seeking advice before dosing or doing something that they might regret. Its at least reassuring seeing the younger generation trying to be safe. They will probably do it regardless so its nice to see them seek out some guidance.

I think that they should probs just look through the posts for an answer. But most seem to linger on here and post other stuff. They could also look through google results for one of the thousands of websites. I had enough of facebook years ago, twitter seems dis-interesting also. 
I just find it frustrating they are still here.

Also a ton of people refer to what we in the UK would call Uni/University/College as "school", people completing a masters may mention attending school the next day etc...
I think the best way of determining age is by the content of a users posts and the type of language/grammar/semantics they use. Beyond that it is very hard to tell, and it is not as if many people would sign up to discuss 99% of the things divulged on this site if genuine ID was required.
If you think a user may be underage, OP, then hit the ignore button, or if you fear for their safety or whatnot, then you can alwyas call their posts to a Mod's attention.

Anyone know if you can just eat any mushrooms and get high? Like even if they are poisonous it wouldn't matter if you only ate like 10-15 right??

Yes I will do in the future. This thread is a good start though, even after a rocky ride of angered posters.

Yeah, you're really shaking things up. Also, just wondering, how many bong tips can you take? You seem pretty cool.
