A little over a year ago I tried Psilocybin mushrooms on a couple of occasions. The setting was a June summer night near Tampa Florida. Me and a few friends made "shroomade". What I experienced was a very pronounced sense of marvel at everything around me such as living things and processes I had never considered. An appreciation for ecosystems and life that I had always taken for granted. Basically I saw beauty in everything. These experiences changed my outlook significantly, but the greatest experience I had on shrooms was what I believe is either called an ego death, or depersonalization? I felt no sense of self. I knew who I was, but I felt outside of myself. When I self reflected I found that my views on my actions, outlooks, opinions, anything you think of when you self reflect having little to no personal bias. It was like seeing myself from the point of view of someone other than myself. At least, that's how I think of it. To this day that summer in June is one the most enlightening, meaningful experiences I've had. The point I'm trying to make is I think Psilocybin deserves to be in a different category than say marijuana, heroine, or cocaine.

A different category? Why? Because you had a good trip? How about LSD then? What category should that be in?

Psychtropic drugs are in a different category than things like heroin and should be legal but I won't hold my breath.

So where does LSD fit in? Marijuana is a Euphoric and doesn't belong on the list either.
OTOH, too much 2,5-dimethoxy-4--propylthiophenethylamine can really **** up your day. Yup. Psychotropic.
They're already in the category of tryptamines. Why not just call them that or come up with a new word?
They also shouldn't be listed as schedule 1 drugs.
Yes LSD, pot, peyote etc etc all should be legal IMO.
I'm not looking at this like a lawyer. I'm saying a lot of society views Psilocybin as the same as hard drugs. That's what I'm taking issue with.It *is* in a different category. MJ is a sedative, heroin and cocaine are opiates and psilocybin is a hallucinigenic

Thank you for telling me how not to argue. :]I know it's not the same thing, and it doesn't matter. It alters you too much for you to be safe from yourself, around others, or even safe from the uneven dip in the sidewalk.
When I consider legalization I ask myself, "Do I want several thousand people in my state to be under the influence of this substance?" I think we have our hands full with the legal drugs, no need to add more onto it.
If you counter with a marijuana argument or example I'll be very put out with you.

Coke is not made from opium. Last I checked, MJ was a euphoric and heroin (though an opiate) was a hallu.
You're right. It's made from the coca plant.
My bad

It's a stimulant. Iirc, there are 4 categories of recreational drugs: depressant (alcohol), stimulant (coke), euphoric (MJ) and hallu (opiates and shrooms).

are you sure about that? I thought that sedative and depressant were two different things
And then there are narcotics and pain killers. I'm not sure how they overlap, etc
Would you run out and buy some LSD if it was legal?
