...But the Scientist Told Me To!
I guess it's okay to eat mushrooms after all.
According to medpagetoday.com, "There's magic in those mushrooms after all, researchers found in a double-blind trial that found the use of psilocybin can have a 'substantial personal meaning and spiritual significance' even months later."
Those smug little pricks over at Johns Hopkins.
Once again, the weekly parishioners at the church of logic have confirmed something that everyone else has known since time immemorial. Don't get me wrong, I love these scientists simply for keeping religion on its toes. Every time another halo-bashing theory is awarded a Nobel Prize, the theologians strike back with a 'retelling' of the cosmic christmas tale, claiming ever so humbly yet with a hint of the sinister (a small bit of body language reserved especially for God's brosefs) that, thanks to Dr. Soandsos theory of happenstance, we now have a better understanding of God's creation...
But c'mon. Psilocybin may induce mystical experiences and improve the quality of your life........is this supposed to be news? It's almost as if these researchers are, by their gracious majesty, validating the experiences of all those hippies, who in 1967 proclaimed to have seen God in technicolor soap bubbles. So all of the misinformation given to us over the last 40 years will now be corrected, right? But no my well-informed New York friend; like every study of its kind, this one will find its way down the Congressional trash chute, aptly titled "Good Point...But It Still Doesn't Make A Difference".
Now if psychedelic mushrooms could lower the unemployment rate, we'd be carting them away in government wheelbarrows.
Remember the Marsh Chapel Experiment?
