two_rivers said: in person i've heard, "did you know that when you trip on mushrooms, it's just your brain bleeding inside your head?"
hen she said, "it's true, don't you read any medical journals?"
I would have told her that she should find and read a medical journal containing an article about psilocybian mushrooms. She would see that she was wrong and an asshole for trying to backup mythical information with official sounding sources of which she has clearly done no research.
I hear this one a few times: Mushrooms give you food poisoning and that's why you trip. I always respond to this with: how come I don't trip when I get food poisoning from bad shellfish or undercooked meat?
My good friend defended that one to the bitter end. To the point where she started crying because "she knew she was right" and I didn't believe her. I asked her where she got that info from and she said "i dunno, my friends. everyone knows that!" She told me to look it up online (which obviously she hadn't bothered to do to confirm her own belief). So I said "you go look it up too, and don't believe everything you hear"
That same night she called me to apologize for getting so worked up. She didn't know why she was so passionate about a piece of information that she so firmly believed was true only because she heard it from her friends. She said she's not going to believe everything she hears anymore. I told her to question everything, do your own research, find out for yourself. So this girl was able to escape the cycle of blind faith in misinformation. I was just shocked at how passionately and violently people can defend their beliefs, even when they would see that they are wrong if they just did a little research.

Geeeeez Pris. When you put it like that you make it sound so bad. I mean we do need some way to strive for "pure morality" don't we? Otherwise, moral relativism, will destroy the earth. They we're just trying to protect man from man really....

Werd. I used to argue with people like that, but I realised it's a waste of time. No matter what you say, they tell you about how they read it on the interwebz or know a friend who has experienced it.

I've argued with someone when they said that if you take LSD more than three times you are legally insane. There i am, standing there, having over 60 trips under my belt, and this guy is telling me after three ill be insane.
The worst part was after i told him how many trips ive had and how im fine, he told me, by law, that i was actually insane and just didn't know it.
Fucking idiot.

The reason you keep hearing these wives-tales is because just before the internet they were the truth to a vast majority of people. There were no widely available medical texts or a place like the shroomery to educate at a click. What we're witnessing, especially right here on the shroomery, is a sub-cultural mutation where more and more people are learning more contemporary subject matter. We're on the ground floor, and people like us are unknowingly climbing the stairs of real life intellectual evolution. But its still fledgling, so there are still uneducated people living on obsolete information.
I heard a good one about 2 years ago when me and my wife mentioned to her friend if she ever tried mushrooms, and her honest-to-god reply was "Devil worshipers take those. No thanks.". I was dumbfounded. I started laughing to myself and couldn't hide it. I'm not sure if she was offended, but we left it at that.
I guess this rant needs a moral, and heres a fitting one. When these dumb-ass n0obs come on here asking dumb-ass questions, don't berate them or argue with them. Be patient and willing to educate where you can, because thats what the people of this country need most.
-------------------- My favorites are weeping willows, which aren't really weeping at all. They're very wispy, witty and will dance in the breeze with you. Nothing like a tree that wants to dance with you. Although it doesn't like its thin limbs being pulled at all, it absolutely LOVES it when you walk through them, letting them gently slide over your face and shoulders. If you're naked, the willow considers it to be sex. It will orgasm on your mind and you will blow dream chunks into outer space. All very fun until your neighbor sees you. -The Joekenorer

Its hard to approach people with skewed information, because unless you can flip out a laptop right in front of them, they think you're fucking crazy. Or if you spit knowledge at them, they think you're a genius and won't even try to comprehend what you're saying. But their kids will, and if not them then their grandkids, because evolution works in generations.
If this website ever goes away for whatever reason, it will be remembered as legendary. Many people will keep its memory alive, and the lessons learned within will be passed down. In years people will be tracing ideas and mushroom information right back to this point and place in history. So few realize the implication of what seems like a simple drug-blog website. If you're here, you truly are part of something important. So many take it for granted, but ironically thats its charm. Seems like nothing now, but later ...

-------------------- I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think; I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind of guy likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder - "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I WANT high cholesterol. I wanna eat bacon and butter and BUCKETS of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section. I want to run through the streets naked with green Jell-o all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to, okay, pal?

I had someone swear to me that he was in prison with the orange juice, said the guy couldnt sleep because he'd spill and die, it was incredible, I asked if he actually met the man he said no but he'd hear he was in one of the other cell blocks
I asked when they started putting the crazy people in prison when they've committed no crimes, people want to believe this shit, makes you wonder what urban legends were going around a couple hundred years ago, and back then... there really was no arguing it
yeah I went to school with someone who claimed a kid he went to school with ate too much acid and thinks he is a glass of orange juice. I think that rumor started in the 70's with the sunshine acid maybe I'm wrong? anyone know?

a high dose of mushrooms plus some cocaine and some good interogation might do wonders. or the person will develop a new personality to protect his own, ending up skitzo!

I had a few guys at work that believed all the nonsense. One of my favorites...
Him:"Hey man, if you do acid it will stay in your spine forever!" Me:"Really. And where did you hear that from?" Him:"I learned it in D.A.R.E".
