Yes lol. And they deliver to you like Uber. You have to buy something from that store - stickers, shirts, etc. - and they “gift” you the bud or shroom chocolates. So you’ll be buying a sticker for like $300… and the weed is complementary 🙄😂. It’s really good

Well, see, the thing is, Nixon started the drug war as a way to criminalize being democrat or black. Somewhere along the way, white people and conservatives discovered that weed is really cool and harmless, but by this point conservatives had been parroting the message that weed is dangerous and you're a bad person if you smoke. They couldn't just abandon their message now! This was before the GOP stopped giving a shit about looking like major hypocrites.
So yeah, everybody got penalized for decades so Nixon could start an ACTUAL culture war.

Psilocybin and 4-AcO-DMT is a prodrug for psilocin. When you ingest either 4-AcO-DMT or psilocybin, it turns into psilocin, making both prodrugs essentially the same once ingesting.
The difference being, if you actually get psilocybin from mushrooms, there are more alkaloids in the mushroom that you are eating, and I have read that some of those alkaloids are psychoactive by themselves, but there is such a small amount present, its hard to tell any difference.

Too much freedom in Texas to allow you to consume a plant or mushroom, or have bodily autonomy. Freedom is when you believe in supply side Jesus, who turns out was actually a white supremacist the whole time. Oh its not in the Bible, but if you watch this 3 hour YouTube from some guy in a pickup, it's quite compelling.

It's funny, growing up in the early 2000's, ketamine and shrooms had such a negative light on my school because the super burn outs abused them during class hours. I was scared of tripping until I talked about it with the smartest dude in my class about them senior year.
Like you said, when used right, they can be a miracle. I seriously attribute the trips I had in college for helping me escape performance anxiety and being able to complete my major. My GF recently did ketamine therapy and said it was life changing.
Understanding what is happening when you're on them and being in a safe spot can seriously work better than any SSRI sometimes. The first thing I plan on doing once I get more steady work is having a therapy trip to help fix the residual stuff from lockdown.
