The state is afraid of mushrooms because they let users detach from the groupthink that guides the people from birth to death. The groupthink is made of many polished thought-circuits that compel an individual to do certain things, such as buying a nice car, working an office job, going to vacation on hawaii, watching tv, and so on.

- lillecarl 3y agoI've had this thought too, people don't die from Cannabis or Mushroom overdoses so why are they illegal? People can consume sugar freely until they die, but they can't space out on some shrooms or relax with some weed because.....?
- Vecr 3y agoThere's all the cynical and morality related reasons you probably already know about, but it is possible to die from any psychoactive drug, easiest by getting into a car while intoxicated and crashing it. Other ways include but are not limited to failing to correctly operate heavy machinery and falling off things. You can get diabetes from eating sugar and get similarly incapacitated, but it's not as direct. All these things can hurt and/or kill a bunch of people, so it's not just about you.
- nonrepeating 3y agoThat seems like a less-than-useful generalization. I know plenty of people who do mushrooms and yet labor away in cubicles to pay for their houses, in which they watch television.
- gensym 3y ago> going to vacation on hawaii Most of the dudes I know plenty of dudes who partake in psilocybin also really like going to Hawaii. Maybe they didn't get stuff good enough to break that particular thought-circuit? What do you think?
- zardo 3y agoMaybe they really do like going to Hawaii.
- akomtu 3y agoHe probably needs a higher dose: addiction to Hawaii and surfing develops quickly, and it's hard to break.
- ForgottenPwd 3y agoUnless you've met the machine elves, can you really say you've had a psychedelic experience?
- chpatrick 3y agoI'm imagining politicians in a cigar-smoke filled room terrified of hippies on shrooms.
- david_shi 3y agoThe difference is in why they are going to Hawaii. Mimetic and status driven reasons suggest groupthink.
