WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The "spiritual" effects of psilocybin from so-called sacred mushrooms last for more than a year and may offer a way to help patients with fatal diseases or addictions, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday...

With most democrats their illusions of government are formed under some kind of drug induced haze (psilocybin or whatever). Ask Bill Clinton or Obama if they ever inhaled.

I would guess that their mystical delusions have been forever (as in not just a year) imprinted on their twisted unconsciousness. How else could they keep coming up with these absurd ideologies and candidates?

And the music was so gooood back then. If the trip last’s a year, no wonder the songs took up one whole side of an album.

ROFLMAO! lol, no kidding.

'Shrooms are usually found near cow dung; more specifically growing UNDER it. Hiking became a huge thing in my county during the 70s once word about the shrooms became "known". Everyone took to hiking with a hiking stick, and flicking over cow paddies... lol. No luck. Shrooms only grow in certain climes.

But it really was the weirdest thing to see folks of all ages, bent, kneeling, analysing cow paddies on any sunny day; Then standing up, and saying "oh, plain ole sh**, again."

Sure, sure, spiritual effects last a year. Uh-uh. Usually is indicative of some genuine synaptic wall breaches.

Oh well. Better to be bizarrely weird than dead without shrooms, Uh-huh.

Maybe the reason they had no luck is because they were looking for shrooms underneath cow patties instead of on top of them where they actually grow.

And to think they wasted all that time flipping the paddies. Poor souls. They needed a spiritual awakening. They knew it then. But they just couldn’t figure out the answers to the cosmos because flies kept getting in their eyes... and now they are older and have carpal tunnel syndrome... and they are still going to die of “somethin’”.

Our mix in a blender with orange juice lasted one evening (I think).

Probably the warm climate - it requires warmth and cows to grow properly.

The “spiritual” effects of toadstools often last a lifetime...

Yep, you’re probably right. I admit, I’d never thought about there being cows in Florida. Just never struck me as “cattle” country.

Guess I should amend my post to say that mixture was consumed 32 years ago in wild and crazy days. Thankfully, we survived.
