not seeking medical care doesn't necessarily mean safest

Lovely timing, about to go harvest several caps right off the dung-pile, and a few more off the synthetic "dung-pile" I've created just for that purpose....
Really considering making a /v/ dedicated to Psilocybe Cubensis....... Maybe get into a little of the history of Psychedelic mushrooms on it...?

The places I've gotten from were cow pastures. Make sure you know what your looking for first then get one and buy a bag of cow poop and spread it on the shit. A cool moist place is best.

Do it pussy. I was tripping in the woods one day when a bunch of turkeys surrounded me and I had an epiphany about skeksis, would be interested to see if anyone else has had similar encounters with wildlife.

I would sub to that. Would you only stick to shrooms or branch out into stuff like DMT?
[–] wallstreets 1 point 1 point 2 points (+2|-1) ago
I'm calling bullshit. There's no way shrooms are safer than weed. Probably not safer than alcohol either
[–] passwordsonvoatrbad 2 points -2 points 0 points (+0|-2) ago
a lot of people are overindulging on weed now because of this mentality. Same thing could happen with shrooms
[–] Filthy_Khajiit 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Have you had shrooms?
[–] wallstreets ago
Many times. I'm not really into anything but a few beers these days, but I used to take about 1/8 of shrooms every now and again

The classical hallucinogens (LSD, Mescaline, psilocybin) are pharmacologically very safe; they either have very high ED50:LD50 ratios or the lethal dose is an incredibly large quantity (the LD50 for mescaline in mice was 1200mg/kg, so a lot).
Psychologically safe? That's a different question, but the argument could also be made that if a psychedelic triggers a psychotic break weed is equally likely to inevitably do the same for you.

You'd have to smoke an impossible amount of weed to have anything close to the same psychological effect as a little bit of mushrooms or lsd. Also even good mushrooms are often poisonous and having some of the wrong kind mixed in or mistaking them can be deadly (although that's rare).
I'm not saying don't take them, I'm saying it's definitely not the "safest" recreational drug. The study compared it to mdma, coke, meth, and lsd anyway. That is by no means an exhaustive list of recreational drugs, and would be considered a grouping of quite dangerous psychoactive ones by anyone in the know.

The Guardian is corrupt and should be archived in the OP. It doesn't deserve our support. Please keep this in mind for future posts.
Also, please see:

They're honestly both. LSD and Mescaline have a much higher recreational potential than mushrooms though (they're MUCH more euphoric).

'Mushrooms are the safest of all the drugs people take recreationally, according to this year’s Global Drug Survey. '
'Over one in 30 of users in the sample sought emergency medical treatment – the highest of any drug studied except crystal methamphetamine. '
'He also highlighted that seeking emergency medical treatment means different things for different drugs. '
'In their 2016 paper they surveyed almost 2,000 individuals about their single most psychologically difficult or challenging experience with magic mushrooms. '
'With a drug such as heroin, a trip to the emergency room is a life-or-death situation requiring resuscitation and medication. '
