A quick search on Google shows a multitude of risks related to the use of mushrooms that were blatantly neglected. A high school student who sells a substance is hardly a credible source since they have an obvious bias which this article did not even attempt to compensate for. Before you go advocating drugs, look at the audience your presenting the information to, a bunch of impressionable 14-18 year old kids who read this and actually listen to you. You are their peers and your opinion truly impacts them especially when it is circulated to a majority of the students at your school. Cordelia Dean,

Come on! It might have been nice if the article had addressed hallucinogen persisting perception disorder, which can last for years after individuals have stopped using mushrooms. The next time you read in the paper about a teenager walking naked down the freeway, ask yourself what an enlightening experience hallucinogens bring about. Better yet, volunteer like I did at Harborview Psych and the jail, where you'll see people on hallucinogens licking their own urine off the floor. Enlightening!
