What could go wrong? An illegal magic mushroom shop in Portland attracted hoards of customers
Shroom House sells psilocybin mushrooms despite the fact its illegal in Oregon The upmarket shop says it's 'not a dispensary' but a 'health and wellness shop' Its opening comes amid rising crime and an exodus of businesses from the city Applications for psilocybin dispensaries will start being accepted in January
Hundreds of Portland residents have flocked to a whimsical new magical mushroom store that has opened in the city - despite being totally illegal.
The upmarket mushroom shop, called Shroom House, appeared in the city even though selling products containing psilocybin - the hallucinogenic ingredient in magic mushrooms - remains illegal in Oregon.
The illicit business looks like a regular store and has a sign attached to its façade depicting a mushroom that also looks like a house. The same distinctive logo is plastered on its glass windows, with its arrival sparking fears that Portland's record-murder rate and soaring violent crime problems will spike further.
In November 2020 Oregon passed Measure 109 - a bill that would legalize the controlled therapeutic use of psilocybin mushrooms. However, that bill does not legalize their sale.
When challenged about the legality of the business, the store owner told local news channel KOIN 'they're not a dispensary, they're a health and wellness shop.'

We already have “Big Weed” in parts of the country (like Arizona). And the Circle K chain is now selling pot at some of their locations ( selling pot at a convenience store )
The animal farm is complete now
Seem to remember hearing back in the 70s that some tobacco company had already copywrited or trademarked Acapulco Gold
Except for people who purchase guns to protect themselves because their communities have become less safe, that institutes a much different reason than helping someone self medicate themselves , especially if that medication only allows them to escape a fearful reality that they should be able to protect themselves from without altering their minds and becoming less sober and vigilant. What karmic call comes from not defending your brothers and sisters when you have a god given responsibility to do so, slavery and death is what history proves. Of coarse, if you have no god , then i suppose what God given rights would you have?

Thx much.
If I lived in Portland I’d be more than happy to be taken away by the Magical Mushroom Tour. Reality truly bites there. What can any individual do? Especially an 85-year-old woman like me?
Big IF about living there. I often drove through Oregon on way from CA to ID to see my daughter, and hated the entire state. Even 40 years ago, something felt wrong and dangerous.
A friend who’s a pastor uses this reply to atheists, which is “Just because you don’t believe in God, it doesn’t mean God doesn’t believe in you”.
I like that. A.E. Van Vogt, in his book “The Weapons Shop of Ishtar”, makes this assertion, “ The right to own weapons is the right to be free”. Nuff Said.
you don’t get the munchies from mushrooms.
Quite the opposite. They would be great for weight loss.
““Just because you don’t believe in God, it doesn’t mean God doesn’t believe in you”.”
Just because you don’t believe in God, it doesn’t mean God believes in you.
...I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,...
Exodus 20:4-5 NIV and other places. It’s not all love!
I like to think that some people are like stubborn mules , sometimes God has to nudge them with a thwack with a 2x4 to get them moving in the right direction.
The personification of our creator into one that believes intrigues me indeed, id probably go with something more like , Just because you don’t know God doesn’t mean he doesn’t know you.
