something that irritates me

is how brainwashed some people are about taking mushrooms.
i have a good friend who was telling me, during a convo about shrooms "man that stuff is so bad for you, did you know......"and i go please dont tel me that they make your brain bleed, and hes like "i wouldnt be surprised man" and he was comparing it to other hardcore drugs and was like that stuff is worse than coke and that it make you stupid and all kinds of stuff.
i really hate when i encounter people with such conditioned COMPLETELY FABRICATED consensus about not just mushrooms, but all hallucinagens. he made hallucinagenics sound so ridiuclously bad. i tryed to explain to him my pointof view and al the research i've done and know about msuhrooms but to no avail.
it just makes me

This is brought up at least 3 times a month. Don't any of you realize that there will always be people like that?
There's nothing you can do for them. Getting them the facts will be useless.

Personally, I enjoy the rumors.
It makes psychedelics like a secret club in which many of the members know the Truth - and everyone else is left in the dark. It's even cooler to think that those in the "know" can invite others to join the circle, revealing the Truth. In this way, the rumors kind of keep out much of the riff-raff.
Of course this type of thinking could be seen as problematic as well - much of the riff-raff could benefit from psychedelics the most - but I suppose that's the way the game's designed.

what's even funnier is that after there little speech they have to make to you about your lifestyle, they go ahead and smoke up a cig and don't see the irony

hah, exactly. It's kind of scary to know how close minded someone can be. Or maybe me thinking they're close minded in fact makes me close minded.

not at all,once you open your mind and free yourself of the shackles of propaganda it's easy to recognize those still in captivity.

on the flipside i also dislike people too gung-ho with shrooms, after a good trip that's all they talk about, how they're shamans now and the third eye has opened and they tell that shit to everyone that listens, man. they act superior like they're more special now, all they talk about are heroic doses and "tripping balls". fuck 'em.

Man is my brain gonna bleed tonight 
Don't let it get to you hooper. Ignorance is a fact of life. And we're all guilty of it about some topic. Nobody is 100% correct in what they say. Not even close. Just laugh it off, inform them without hostility if you can.
-------------------- Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide: him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him, because he did not need it. ~ R.W. Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
