Very pretty. (The picture.):smile:

Here's the other side of the coin, since the author of that link makes no reference to the dangers of consumption of magic mushrooms in uncontrolled circumstances:

[QUOTE]Calls for a re-evaluation [of the legal status of magic mushrooms in The Netherlands] arose after Gaelle Caroff, 17, from France, was killed by jumping from a building after eating psychedelic mushrooms while on a school visit to Amsterdam in March [2007]. Her parents blamed her death on hallucinations brought on by the mushrooms, though she had had psychiatric problems.
Since Ms Caroff's death other cases have been reported in the Dutch press. A British tourist, 22, ran amok in a hotel, breaking a window and slicing his hand badly; an Icelandic tourist, 19, thought he was being chased and jumped from a balcony, breaking both legs; and a Danish tourist, 29, drove his car wildly through a campsite, narrowly missing people sleeping in tents. Most mushrooms sold in Amsterdam are sold to tourists.

I encountered this bit of Pro Wrasslin lingo in a political context today - which makes perfect sense since modern politics and its faux-partisan feuds to distract from the common underlying "best government money can buy" truth - increasingly resembles Pro Wrasslin, a.k.a. The One ad Only Original American Contribution to Theater:

[Disclosure: during my wrasslin'-watching heyday in the mid-to-late-80s, my favorite heels were Brutus 'the barber' Beefcake and that paragon of wrasslin-Elvis-impersonation The Honky-Tonk Man, one of whose taglines was "Ah wuz boahhn awn a poohl taybul in Maym-phis Tay-nuh-see...". Good times.]

Beyond doubt, some form of guidance should be present for the inexperienced. There are certainly some people for whom psychoactive substances are not a good idea. Still, while the cases described are sad and dramatic, I suspect that alcohol plays a much more detrimental role for for a much larger group.
