And during that time i did a lot of thinking. I think ive lost my feel for the shroomery. I think i was confused about this place from the start, granted there are a lot of cool people here, im not sure if the shroomery has ever been or ever will be as beautiful as it could potentially be.

perhaps you've been holding high expectations for this community..
i think once you actually meet some shroomerites IRL, your perspective changes and you get to appreciate this place a bit more.

yeah, i thought that too. and then i realized most of the stuff ive learned other than from all the teks has been outside of the shroomery. This place suffers from the same thing america does, for some reason i wanted this to be a safe haven. In reality it's the exact opposite.

Most the people here are cool but there are some that just make me dread coming here.
Overall though I have to say this is a great site.

care to elaborate? are you trying to say you were looking for something deeper here other than it being a drug related website/forum? or did you get banned for saying some radical shit you shouldn't have and now feel shitted or something??

Well IMO users of psychedelics should have a common understanding, that being that we are all headed in the same direction and will all experience the same shit at some point in our lives. I've made the mistake of assuming that everyone here has loosely followed the same spiritual path and experienced those things that seem to be universal with psychs. But a lot of people here let their internet persona get the best of them. I was hoping to meet more "real" people, but then again this is the interwebz.

For saying someone was full of shit. And trying to argue a point. It really bothered me b/c at that point i realized that it all comes down to the personal opinions of the moderators. And then i made the point that it was the same situation as stem cell research regarding its legality and everyone said i was overreacting.

I've seen a lot of people being very real, baring their souls on the Shroomery.
I love this board.

The shroomery is what you make it man. Embrace the 'real' people and ignore the 'unreal' ones I guess 
I think this is probably the greatest online community you are going to find on the web if you are into psychoactives,etc. and probably the greatest online community in general IMO

What mass-movement of people ever is? People got ripped off with bunk weed and bad acid even at Woodstock.
The Shroomery isn't nearly as great a place as it could possibly be, or in my view not even as great as it has been. But you gotta look whats there, and whether you can flow with it.

I didnt say anything radical. I live in the south and am surrounded by rednecks and idiots of all types. i feel like im in some weird percentile of people that are "aware" of their own lives. I just thought that if a place existed where there where more people like me this would be it.

So did you get banned from the whole site for doing that or just one forum?

Site wide. I thought that was a bit ridiculous.
