Consuming misidentified mushrooms can result in death, so I'm not sure it's safer than smoking pot. Almost certainly less addictive though.

  Presumably, legalization would prevent people from rooting around the woods trying to get high and possibly eating a deadly mushroom.. However, psychedelic mushrooms are unique in their identification. All mushrooms that turn blue when you touch them are psychedelic and there is only one that I'm aware of that doesn't turn blue (fly agaric - which isn't a psylocibe).

      Thanks! It was my first domain name I ever bought back in 2001. Started a t-shirt business to pay for my best friend to join our frisbee team on spring break after he had been bankrupt by medical bills beating cancer. It took off a bit and paid my rent in grad school (Madison). At some point I got scammed by Nigerians and had to shut it down due to the cash flow screwing up production. Strangely, while at Madison it also lead to inspiring Elliot Bisnow, and me helping him launch Summit.co (along with other crazy tales like a spin off t-shirt co locking horns with a fledgling TheFacebook). Years later I set up a printful shop with the designs as a legacy memorial, though we rarely sell many shirts now. But I think if you play ultimate frisbee, @175g.com is the best email address domain you could want! I live in Park Slope Brooklyn now ;)
