Why is the shroomery full of children?
#23625430 - 09/08/16 11:09 AM (7 years, 4 months ago) |

I thought this site was for adults, people 18+ or 21+?
Why is there a multitude of kids telling stories about being in their parents home doing psychedelics and whatever else? They haven't even moved out yet. It is really frustrating.
Isn't facebook or twitter for them?

touche, although in general where I live not many people move out until mid twenties just due to the expensive housing market and non-existent vacancies I've got another year to go still

It's because children like psychedelics more than adults do

Yeah, where do you live OP? I think a majority of kids live with their parents until 24 or 25.

I totally understand where you're coming from as well. Tho at the same time its nice to see people who are curious be a little more responsible and come to a site like this and ask questions regarding drug usage. Compared to when I was young and did minimal research but a lot of the time outside of erowid not much was around back then to get first hand information.
I moved out when I turned 19, took off across the country hahaha

It's understandable when it's finance that is hindering you. But I'm talking about those who don't even work and they live at home with no goals. They shouldn't be on this website, they should be on another.

I'd rather not say if I'm honest. I didn't realize that was the age, seems late tbh.

Plenty of people who are 18+ years old are still living at home with their families, does this shock you?

I think unfortunately that that same segment of the population however probably has the most time to waste here and to do drugs in general. I would think this has been an issue with the shroomery since its inception but I haven't been here very long so I can't personally verify that

Honestly i had assumed you were 17-18 based only on your avatar.
I don't think there's that many "kids" here But the shroomery is certainly stocked with young adults. Based only on my limited knowledge of some people's age here, I'd guess that the average age for the active user here is 21. Though obviously the average age for the low-post count "here to grow shrooms and then dip" folks is probably closer to 18

No offense OP but your posts don't really ooz maturity either.
I'm in my mid 20s and I'm living with my parents, again. Life is hard, the economy is complicated, and most of us start out in debt from shit like student loans. And then you gotta think, it is a forum full of drug users, a lot of people fuck up when they're young too. My reason for moving back in with my rents is a combination of those 2 piled up with health problems.
And now they're getting close to where they need someone to help take care of them so, despite me getting ready to move out again in a few months, for all I know I might need to move in with them again in my mid 30s. Living situation is a poor gauge for judging age.
I judge age from maturity conveyed in post content. And by that gauge I'd say there seems to be just as many 'kids' here living away from mom and dad.

To be fair, I do think there are quite a handful of under 18 year olds on here... they tend to have bad grammar and incorrigible logic...

Our parents and their parents and their parents moved out when they legally were adults. They also tended to almost immediately marry and start a family. Times change. And the economy has a lot to do with that. Values do too.
As for the peeps that don't work and do drugs all day... Well this is the forum for them. The only people that can afford to do this are the ones that have parents taking care of them or are retired. Or filthy rich. And those are the sorts of people who are most likely to have the time to take alot of drugs n fuck around on the internet all day. Tis the way tit is.

I think so too but it's still hard to tell sometimes. Again its a forum full of relatively young adult drug users and most of them are male. I tend to think they're a teen but it could just as often be they are immature and high as fuck.

Age really does not matter there are teenagers who are smarter and more mature then most people in their fifties. A better question would be why there are so many immature acting people posting here.

I thought it was odd early on as well, however I have friends who live with thier parents who have gotten thier masters, others who crawl back home due to marital or debt issues, and some who just can't hack it on thier own but hold jobs and are respectable. I am almost 30 and these friends of mine are as old if not older.
The ones I cannot stand are the ones who completely disrespect their parents even after thier parents are kind enough to still provide a roof and food to them.
Living with your parents doesn't make you childish, acting like a child makes you childish.
Edit: And yeah, plenty of people here act pretty damn childish.

I think you're probably right about a lot of cases, but sometimes those traits are found in people who are well out of their teens as well. Bassfreak was apparently almost 30. He could have been lying I guess but I can believe it.

I've lived with family at various points after turning 18 About 3 years in the past decade
Personally I think we would be better off as a society if we were less eager to break up family units, I come from a family of immigrants and think from the perspective of a large household.
It isn't a new idea by any means, you just have more land with less bills because they're split between more people, its much easier to have kids as there are older generations around to watch them and cousins to entertain them... not to mention that you can actually retire at a reasonable age and watch over your grandkids, rather than slaving away or going into a "retirement home".
Cutting and running just fucks up your finances and isolates you, which is great for the government and big companies who want to take advantage of your vulnerability, but not so great for you. Although some people have really shitty families and they're better off alone.

In the UK it is super common for people well into their 30's if not older to be forced back home etc. Only so many years of spending 60% of your income on a single room in a rat-infested shit hole you can take before ya say "fuck it".
In many cultures and in many parts of the world it is common for families to just live together, many generations in the same house.
I lived solo from my late teens and all of my 20's, have been living back with my mother on and off through my early-mid 30's.. We have our own space and she is a widow so would be on her own otherwise, I think living with your parent(s) can be a nice thing, as long as boundaries are respected and you are not still getting your meals cooked and payed for, your laundry done etc past the age of 18 MAX..
Also people should stop having so many damn fucking rug rats.. Not a breeder myself and don't see it ever happening, plenty of people to go around as far as I can tell. Not prepared to bring more life into this torrent of shit/mayhem/war/upheaval etc etc etc, adoption may be a solid option down the line.
Put a cap on it before ya semen splits, y'all.

I agree with that in general, and that the whole obsession with the individual being unhealthy and beneficial to corporations rather than individuals,
still, I intend to move out as soon as I'm financially capable.

Same, living out of an empty house owned by my family until Spring.
Everyone literally lives in a different state right now, due to government careers which don't give you a lot of leeway to choose where you live, and a lot of violence which split us up into factions...
In a few years I'll likely be buying land with one of my siblings, don't want this to happen to the next generation.

Because we can't afford college. lol
I haven't seen anything on here that seemed like it was posted by someone underage. Ignorant for sure but not underage.
I'm twenty so maybe I'm missing the picture here, honestly though why does it bother you when you can just scroll away from it? I'd think you'd be happy that they are taking it upon themselves to learn more.

Just saying, so far my impression of you has been that you are very judgmental and perhaps a bit snobby. I don't intend for this to be derogatory but it's just my observation. Here you're judging posters for living with their parents too long or labeling a segment of them as lazy young adults, and in another thread you seemed to be touting how you didn't watch porn. And while I agree that porn is corrosive, it came off slightly that you might have been bragging about it while inferring that people who do watch it are lesser than you.

Why is there a multitude of kids telling stories about being in their parents home doing psychedelics and whatever else? They haven't even moved out yet. It is really frustrating.
Isn't facebook or twitter for them?
How do you know their parents aren't elderly and they care for them? How do you know it's not college kids saving money? How do you know it's not someone down on their luck? How do you know someone just is comfortable where they are, work really hard, and their parents need them there to help pay the bills?
What I would like to know is why all the newbs on the shroomery are judgemental nutsacks without an open mind.

I'm guessing you are a child then. Calling me a snob because I made a thread about children doing drugs? Interesting. As for the other thread, in no way or shape was I trying to be better than anyone by staying my disinterest in porn.

You cannot read, I said why aren't they 18+ and then you proceed to talk about adults caring for elderly parents.
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?

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.

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?

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??

Don't smoke anymore. But used to be able to handle a decent amount. Maybe 4-5 joints. Or 3-4 hits. That is probs not an accurate guess because I cannot really remember.
Thanks for the compliment, your old name and new name is also cool.

I said you acted snobby. I did not call you a snob.
The difference between me and you is that I made a calm, neutral observation, whereas you took offense and made a retaliatory insult. It seems that you are the child, not me.
You obviously have nothing meaningful to contribute, neither to this thread nor to the Shroomery, so I am nignoring you. Have fun throwing shit at other people.

If this thread did have a genuine point at the start, it seems long gone and appears to have turned into a mud/turd slinging match.
Plenty of cool threads on the site, why don't we all go find another we like and try to do something fun and or constructive, rather than whatever this is....

Have a good browse then. I'll keep commenting to answer who ever comments. The point is to highlight the childish behavior of members.
There are many threads on this site that are non constructive and no fun.

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.
It's more just that your rationale for considering certain people underage is faulty, and as a result you're probably overestimating the number of underage posters. There definitely are some, but catching them all would pretty much mean demanding ID from everyone, which is never going to fly on a site like this. If underage users are foolhardy enough to admit that they're underage, they get banned. Your "do you live with your parents and attend school" litmus test for age is pretty much useless, as many people have explained to you. IMO there is nothing that the site should be doing to address this issue that they aren't already doing.

Maybe the title should be "why are the children full of the shroomery?"

That isn't what I said. I said posters post dating they live with there parents and are doing psychedelics. I.E they wait for them to go to bed to do them. What adult does that?

Either way, it isn't a reliable way to tell whether or not someone has reached the age of 18 as required by the rules here.

I appreciate the comment. 
This thread has derailed the pub though, so somewhat of a victory post.

You could always try reporting these posts if you feel that strongly about it, but if there is no solid evidence to back up your suspicions, the mods may feel that you're wasting their time by doing so. Or you could try another similar site, e.g. Mycotopia seems to generally have older members.
From what I understand, the age policy exists mostly for liability reasons. The guy who created the site was apparently under 18 when he did so. From a harm-reduction perspective, I think it's a good thing for people to be able to obtain reliable info even if they happen to be underage. The legal risk to the site in allowing openly underage users is too great though.

Um I wait for my parents to go to bed if I'm doing drugs cuz like they're old and typical of their generation- completely brainwashed by Reagan's bullshit.
My mom once told us that one joint is like smoking 1000 cigarettes.
I'm way too paranoid to do psychs while my rents are home but if I were more comfortable and were into using them more frequently that's what I'd do. Actually talking about it reminded me that I have done just that. Opportunity comes sometimes even in your mother's basement. Love my parents to death and I respect them and show that respect as best I can. But I don't stop living because I room with them. I just hide half of my life. Things work best like that. Sounds immature to say and I admit I hate that I feel like a child because of it sometimes. But you can't force a square peg into a round hole.
I was homeless once, I was in the psych ward once, I was with a crazy abusive cunt once... I take the welcoming home of my parents over all that shit. Only reason I'm pushing to move out now, before I can buy my own piece of shit place, is because it doesn't feel as welcoming as it once did. If my parents didn't want me in their house I wouldn't be there. And if it wasn't a good place to live I wouldn't be there. That's why I'm moving into a friend's apartment in a few months.
But if they didn't get into the shit they have I would likely be there for at least another year while I got my finances straight and got a line up for a small shoddy but livable property of my own, instead of throwing my money away in apartment rent. But you cant fit a round peg into a square hole. Life is different and difficult for everyone. Some don't realize this. But it's not necessarily the ones that are living with their parents.
Stop pushing a bad argument. There's better ones to fixate on.

Thanks for reading  I just hope you reconsider your opinion as you judge peoples posts. A lot of people here are definitely young and alot are super immature at times... But you'd be surprised at how many are legal all the same.

Wish my parents would be open to this. I've done druqs with other people's parents but mine were kind of religious about the standard morally acceptable ways of life. And part of the reason I'm dipping out is because they've spread that religiousness to religion.

Ythan was 14 when he made this site. I first signed up when I was 17, I think. Kids these days are definitely a lot dumber, less adjusted, and less mature though. If you were born in the 90s or 2000s you likely suck as a person. My generation sucks enough, but it's only been going downhill for a while. Humans are fucked. Our species is devolving. I'm gonna eat some tacos.

oh man... i feel so...many things about that.
my parents are religious too, but not in that way...dad is a whew long lost cause of the catechism, and a runaway. so his Jesus is like...something else. unreachable. no a religious person, just spiritual but a christian. my mom is a Jesus lover too, but she's into meditation and Satnam and all sorts of other bents. she doesn't trust drugs, she technically tripped balls on so little, like a gram, but i knew it work, i've tripped on a gram...didn't trip with her though, technically, i should say she tripped, i didn't trip with her, she tripped with my step-dad. funny shit though.
and yeah, my friends mom and dad like used to buy him weed and shit...like they'd just buy oz and like share it...MA! WHERE'S THE WEED!?

Dude. This is 2016.
Those "kids" arent kids.
They for the most part are college students buried under a mountain of debt living with their not-so well off parents to economically make it together. Minimum wage also doesn't pay the rent.
This isnt the 1980s where dad had a job and the whole family lived off that and the kids went to college off.
The soup kitchen soup is getting thinner and thinner. Even the middle class have to watch their step to get by.
Milennials can look forward to spending a good part of their 20s living with their parents for economic reasons.
Its hard to tell the age of a poster by their postings.
Some of our most elaborate thinkers were caught underage and had to be banned while some of our more adolescent posts were made by people in their 40s, 50s and 60s.
I wish we could do away with the age barrier. Its not like "you have to be over 18" stopped anyone but the most polite teens so they're here anyway, and I feel that the Shroomery makes one hell of a better peer group than most of their buddies would be with their hydroponic shrooms, double dipped NBOMe and cannabinoid laced parsley flakes. The Shroomery takes lives, but saves many more.
