Template:Hallucinogen-project Could include info about other psychoactive substances from the mushroom, their chemistry, effects on the human body and mind, how to find the mushroom and extract the psylocibin, references to Carlos Castaņeda or others associated with psylocibin.

There should be information on maximum safe dosages, consequences of exceeding them, dangers of regular use, etc..

Castaneda's works aren't very esteemed and are rife with scientific inaccuracies. For example: One cannot "smoke" mushrooms, as Don Juan did. His works are now classified as fiction rather than anthropology in many bookstores. Ix 04:56, 2 Jun 2004 (UTC)
This warning seems almost humorously ambiguous and vague. Are we really suggesting that the reader "should" experiment with psychedelics. And what exactly is "signicant discretion"? --LeeHunter 18:30, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Experimentation with psychedelics should be done with a lot of information and significant discretion.
UK shrooms illegal?
I was under the impression that psilocybin containing mushrooms won't be illegal in the UK until May or thereabouts - Clause 21 (and indeed the rest of the drug bill) hasn't actually been passed yet as far as I know. Can the writer of that part clarify where it came from?
- I'm not the writer, but there's a timline of psilocybin mushroom law in the UK to be found at Erowid (http://www.erowid.org), right here (http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_law14.shtml). It's gone back and forth quite a bit apparently. -- — I. Neschek | talk 21:18, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
