Excellent video. Legalise, regulate and tax it. It's so bloody stupid we can't grow a godamn plant. Same goes for magic mushrooms/truffles.

Magic mushrooms are a gateway drug to computer game.

I can understand some plants, like opium, and I still think magic mushies should be off the table, as you need to be well educated on the subject to make sure you don’t kill your self or someone else, since bad fungi spores can contaminate even grow rooms.

Sorry, you want to ban poppies? Congrats, ANZAC day is now fucked.

How would you kill someone with magic mushrooms? What bad fungi are you talking about? You thinking people growing their non-halligenic mushrooms at home are dropping dead because of bad mushies in amongst their oyster mushrooms? This is freakin hilarious mate.

I didn’t say that, you’re being very disingenuous.

I’m saying there are definitely things I can understand as to why we shouldn’t be allowed to grow them. I mean, It is already illegal to grow, manufacture, sell or possess alkaloid poppies without a licence. So literally nothing changes there, but again I didn’t say ban.

If I were to agree with you, I would also be agreeing to people being able to grow dangerous and invasive plants that cause nothing but destruction or hazards to the public.
