Flashback!
The Guardian. Aug. 16, 2023
US Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen has started a craze in China for a ‘magic mushroom’ based dish called Jian Shou Qing
aka ‘See Hand Blue”. She ‘inadvertently ate’ hallucinogenic mushrooms. “I was not aware that these mushrooms had hallucinogenic properties. I learned that much later.”

“Sister Mary Elephant” is a comedy sketch by Cheech and Chong. The recording appeared on the duo’s second album, Big Bambu, released in 1972.[2] It was re-released as a single in 1973 and peaked at No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 50 in Canada in early 1974.[3][4] It is one of very few entirely spoken-word recordings (with no singing or musical accompaniment) to make the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.

They tested it on mice. I wonder if the mice see little tiny mice after consuming it.

Even the legal stuff will do a number on you if you consume it too often.

Moderation in everything seems to be the right road for most.

Would it be safer or less safe if it were made into cream of mushroom soup . . . ?

It’s tough on the little people too. They eat the stuff and see us. Bummer for them.

Ha ha… I recall something deep in my mind that there was a “Schwiiing” of a thrown knife, penetrating a piece of wood just after that!
