One of my favorite books ever is Terrance McKenna's True Hallucinations, which takes place in the Amazon region of your country, where Terrance and his brother Dennis find and consume perhaps a few too many cubenses. Fascinating read.
Is it legal where you live to grow, posses or consume these mushrooms? It is still illegal in the USA, but times are changing. The State of Oregon just south of where I live has a citizen initiative to legalize psychedelic mushrooms, and many research facilities around the USA are using psilocybin in human clinical trials.
I'm looking forward to building a friend group on here of folks that love all things related to mushrooms. I look forward to your posts.
I don´t know the book you mention, but It would be very interesting to read it. In this topic there are many interesting books, like those written by Castaneda, those of Dr Hoffman/Schultes, the one of Paul stamets and so on.
Legality of psichedellic mushrooms in my country is not clear, because laws do not mention explicitly mushrooms, maybe because here is an enormous ignorance around this topic. Besides, the government of my country is focused in other type of drugs that actually are causing social problems.
The group you´re building is an amazing idea. I hope I could join you !!!
Thanks four your reading and votes.
