It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Honestly this whole thread is a cesspool, pure psychic damage. There are literally functional alternatives, but still these self-enlightened egolords can't keep their fucking hands off an endangered plant. The prevailing attitude looks to be "Its there, so I i am entitled to plunder it"

This should apply to magic mushrooms as well. That was NEVER white culture, taking them is a form of expropriation of the exterminated Aztecs and other indigenous cultures.

Basically, if you’re not native, why are you doing the chemical equivalent of putting on a native headdress for fun?

There are psychedelic mushrooms native to other parts of the world, ie England and northern Europe have local varieties.

That and you can grow them with basically clean dirt, water, attention, and an unoccupied shelf.

A lot of psychonauts don't really respect the mushroom though and treat it as a high rather than an experience. I don't think we should gate keep the positive effects they have on brain elasticity though.

It's white culture that keeps this stuff a felony.

Could you elaborate on the culture aspect? Are you equating power structures to culture?

[–] PosadistInevitablity@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

White culture is oppressing minorities and criminalizing their ways of life.

Others might say they have no culture, but I think their power structures and culture are one in the same - most whites enthusiastically support this behavior even when it harms them. Their culture is domination of others.

Does this mean we have a moral imperative to violate the law and cultivate cubensis?

Magic mushrooms are easily (maybe even mostly) cultivated, so the concern isn't really there.

Yeah, it's just a felony you can spend life in prison for because White colonists said so.

It's easy to grow, but the penalty is up to 99 years in prison in the USA.

To clarify I mean that there is no conservation concern when it comes to use of psilocybin mushrooms.
