now why would they start legalizing things, they need funding for the drug war, legalizing drugs doesn't help this. It's all about money in the end.
Most people enjoy doing drugs because of the taboo behind them. I was reading on a topic on where a meth addict went to a country where it was legal. He ended up buying a lot and used very little of it, the fun just wasn't there anymore. This was high quality too, standardized in such a country. Most users unconciously believe have the fun is getting away with it.
If mushrooms were legalized I can see people who take them "to get fucked up" stop taking them, whereas people who take them for the spiritual learning experience would still find use for them.

Exactly why they should be legal. If those silly bastards could just pull their heads out of their asses, maybe they would see something other than their own shit.

"Just don't get caught." That's the results of brainwashing and conditioning I was talking about, mate. Our first response is to run and hide, instead of asking "WHY in the hell should I hide?"
Have you ever asked yourself a question why pot usage is a criminal offense?
- Is there any one person or animal on Earth who you harm with your toking? - Is it killing you or people around you? - Does it harm environment? - Does it harm economy? - Is it dangerous for human values?
Nope.
So why is it illegal and why they take you to prison?
If you dig into the history of of the prohibition and if you take a brief excourse into the history of the Western civilization and if you finally read "1984" you'll get all the answers.
Ganja is not bad. Ganja is framed by dirty power/money-greedy pigs with the silent consent of the majority of the people themselves. 
The reason is not that cannabis harms you or the society, quite opposite. The reason is that it harms a small number of people that get their profit out of the ban.
So, if you get arrested you have to know you're going inside because some bastards want to get richer and to get more power, not because you did something wrong. Also, you'll go inside because most of us think we just shouldn't be caught, instead of standing up to face the music and ask "Who the fuck are you maggots to catch me and why would you want to do it in the first place?"
That's how it is in a nutshell. Now I'm gonna post it, swith my PC off and go downtown like thousands of others will do all over the world today. It's 6th of May, the Global Marijuana March Day. I'll go there to do my humble contribution so that some day in future we wouldn't need to go out for such a March on the 6th of May anymore.
Peace and see you there. Of course, if you're not afraid to be caught.

peace_n_love said: For a while I was very pro-magic mushroom legalization. Now, however I'm slowly starting to retract my past views on the prohibition of this substance. Through past experiences I have found Magic Mushrooms to be the most sacred and spiritual thing I know. If it were to be legalized, don't you think a lot of stupid, ignorant assholes would just abuse mushrooms the same way people are abusing marijuana. I think through legalization it would take away a part of that mystique, and turn hallucinations into a common cliche. I personally would rather have it be prohibited as opposed to abused.
Peacefulness.
shneck said "If it is legal it should be legal for all. We can't judge who's an asshole and who's a cool dude." Judging who is evil and who is not -- it reminds me of a thread here back in the fall. It was called Who Really Makes Drugs Look Bad? This is a resentful and presumptuous/christian mentality to have. Most of us are looking to point the finger and thereby justify our actions. But everyone here at the Shroomery is helping making drugs look bad. Who's the dipshit asshole that would irresponsibly use shrooms if they were legal -- each of us!
In order to have an idea of "abuse" you need to believe in a norm. But God is dead, my friends.
There's also decriminalization. It could be legal for instance to carry 5g of mushrooms, 10g would give a fine, 20g would be considered intent to sell, etc. This would be a gesture to show that a certain part of the population is not criminalized, but that although their behaviour is not approved of by the government they are still respected as members of society.
