Are magic mushrooms bad?

Definitions: Is question about psylocibin, hallucinogenic mushrooms, or did you read "Alice in Wonderland" about the mushrooms which could change her size? Realistically, why are you evaluating recreational drugs, and what goal do you have? A little advice, your life will be far more productive and stable if you avoid drug usage as much as possible, and encourage family and companions to do same.

Not to the mushroom: I'm sure the mushroom might be offended if it knew that it had such a bad rap with humans....but to answer your question, they are currently not used medicinally because of their high potential for abuse and addiction. They cause changes in mental status and cognition and therefore, I would advise against their use as harm can come to you or others while under their influence. Try rhubarb instead.
