if they're trying to monopolize psilocybin, they probably should have chosen something that isn't replicable by a teenager with access to a pressure cooker and a pasture

This is a natural product. One can grow it in the basement of one's home. One can gather it where it grows wild. (Ask me how I know!) No user of this product has ever harmed anyone else as a result of using it. Any restrictions at all on this product could only ever be tyrannical. Let's not abide tyranny, ok?

I must say I take a huge amount of joy watching a corporation try to bend over backwards to monopolize a fungus that has been enjoyed by humans for millenia. Is it a surprise that a capitalist industry is more motivated by profits than by the production of useful goods and services? Of course not: but it is good comedy. Maybe laughing at the absurdity of for-profit healthcare will be what saves us all from crippling depression!

pushing drugs on others is and bullying is not was hacker news is about.

Your comment shows lack of details and closed mindedness. For one thing "No user of this product has ever harmed anyone else as a result of using it."

Thats like saying all drunk car crashes were a result of just bad driving.

You buried your single good point behind a deluge of irrelevant facts and unreasonable exaggerations.

I think I'm on the same side as you, but you don't help your case by making wild claims like:

I'm a huge advocate for and fan of psilocybin but I'd suggest taking some time to read through the Erowid psilocybin trip reports, there are many reports of people inadvertently causing a great deal of grief for others while tripping.
