so i'm not sure how to bring this subject up, but **** it, here it goes..

if anyone of you know who Terrance Mckenna is, then you're probably familiar with his theory of how we came to be, of what aided us in our evolutionary path...i happen to agree with this theory whole heartedly

Terence McKenna - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the theory basically states that when we were still primates we began eating mushrooms containing psilocybin which allowed us to expand our minds and come up with such things as self reflection, language and religion. i've also heard that Mckenna believed the mushroom could be of other worldly origin, meaning the spores traveled here or been brought here

speaking from experience, i believe the latter, i believe the mushroom is its own conscious entity, here to try to help us grow as a people, to reach the next plane of reality. it is a living organism, so is it far fetched to believe it could be conscious? i've had conversations with this plant, and no i'm not insane, far from it. i believe this..thing, that grows from shit, literally...is our key to evolution

as far as it being alien, i don't not believe that, i've seen UFO's on more then one occassion, sober and while under the influence of psilocybin, i do see a potential connection, especially since there was a crop circle showing a picture of two different forms of mushrooms, including the psilocybin containing fungus

See, on the surface, this seems to me to be an excuse for people on 'shrooms to feel justified in doing them, as though they are the key to evolution. Seems kind of far-fetched to me.

Anything is possible, don't get me wrong. But this has circus sideshow written all over it.

As Justin said, I find this hard to believe. I'm not saying it isn't possible. I've also never experimented with mushrooms (theres only one drug for me).

why are mushrooms drugs tho? they grow naturally just like marijuana, which is also not a drug...these things are grown this way and meant to be ingested and used, the earth and universe puts these little secrets for us to use an find, but we've forgotten our ways over the many centuries and become machines basically

i understand you're criticism because i thought the same at first look, but the more you look into it the more you see that there are alot of very intellectual people supporting these positions, its not just junkie teenage kids who give EVERYTHING a bad rap, look at pop culture period, but who gives a fuck about those kids?

everything always comes back to 2012 and questioning authority...i dont know, mull that over, i'll get more shit to support my piece later

Well, I agree with marijuana not being a drug. Any dictionary has a drug as "Chemically altered substance". Weed is not altered chemically in anyway, its just grown. That's the drug I was referring too.

Mushrooms, I suppose fall under the same category. Good point.
