re: A lesson on life I learned on 7g of psilocybin mushrooms

Where did you get the mushrooms and what kind of assurances did you have that they were legit?

He got them from people, people just trying to do their best.

It’s great.

How dare you unlawfully ingest that non-toxic mushroom which grows naturally among the wilds of this planet.

I need me some of them thangs.

Arthur, you need to come in for a drug test Monday morning. Thanks.

Not that it isn't possible to detect shrooms on a drug test, it is just nobody is testing for it. They are also in the body a very short amount of time. It is probably undetectable in 16 hours post consumption in a normal person.

Even a 13-15 panel test isn't going to include shrooms. Most places are paying for 5-8 panel tests, they are cheap and they really just don't care.

Just accept and love people for the way they are. Everyone is doing the best they can and doing what they think is best. No sense in racking my own brain trying to go around and change others so I can be happier.

35 downvotes at this point shows that people just want to be dicks and want to piddle around in others lives.

Here’s your lesson. You never know what someone’s going through so treat them as if they’re struggling and need grace. It stacks Karma and if it don’t you might frick around and make someone’s day better.

Outside of raising good people that’s your job. DWI

But most days, if you’re aware enough to give yourself a choice, you can choose to look differently at this fat, dead-eyed, over-made-up lady who just screamed at her kid in the checkout line. Maybe she’s not usually like this. Maybe she’s been up three straight nights holding the hand of a husband who is dying of bone cancer. Or maybe this very lady is the low-wage clerk at the motor vehicle department, who just yesterday helped your spouse resolve a horrific, infuriating, red-tape problem through some small act of bureaucratic kindness. Of course, none of this is likely, but it’s also not impossible. It just depends what you want to consider. If you’re automatically sure that you know what reality is, and you are operating on your default setting, then you, like me, probably won’t consider possibilities that aren’t annoying and miserable. But if you really learn how to pay attention, then you will know there are other options. It will actually be within your power to experience a crowded, hot, slow, consumer-hell type situation as not only meaningful, but sacred, on fire with the same force that made the stars: love, fellowship, the mystical oneness of all things deep down.

I could teach you a life lesson by tying the long hair on your head to the short hair on your arse and kicking your candy arse down the street you damn hippie
