What in all of your opionions is the correct theory on magic mushrooms?
1. That they are a natural thing that is good to take in moderation and offer thought provoking insights etc........
2. That they are a dangerous poisonous fungus that just clog your mind and make trivial things seem really deep and are not meant for human consumption, seein as the effects ARE pretty similar to being food poisoned.............

You gave alot of options...
- Well, I dont think about substances as "natural" or "synthesized" or anything, but rather as how harmful the substance is. I think mushrooms are a great tool for knowing oneself. I at least get this feeling like "now I'm complete again" when I do mushrooms (or any psychedelics for that matter), it's like I have all the tools with me to have fun at the wonderland. Like, forgetting everything in the past and concentrating on the moment.

I guess I have never really noticed a similiarity between the two.

delyrium-like hallucinations such as some people get when they are ill are far more similar to those induced by the tropane alkaloids than those from psilocybin mushrooms.

I can't agree with either of your "theories." Both have points that I agree with and disagree with.
I agree that: - mushrooms are found in nature - mushrooms may offer thought provoking "insights" - mushrooms can be dangerous - mushrooms may "clog" the mind (by making trivial matters seem important)
I disagree with the following: - that effects of mushrooms are similar to food poisoning - that they are not "meant" for human consumption (I see no way of evaluating this at this time)
I object to: - saying that mushrooms are good to take in moderation because it is a circular statement
