Most of the mushrooms Marisa eats don't exist or are Amanita Muscaria. Said mushroom has medium degrees of toxicity and also can be used as a hallucinogen.

Marisa therefore gets magical powers by tripping balls and poisoning herself. If we take this further, we can assume that most of Gensokyo is just produced as Marisa tripping balls, using the history of this mushroom as one that allows "spiritual journeys" to take place. Furthermore, unless Gensokyo's fungi are radically different and every single species is non-toxic Marisa would have to be an excellent mycologist. This means that before studying magic at the level she currently does she would have had to become adept at identifying fungi or else she would die amazingly quickly.

I've been studying mycology all day, so I decided to apply that knowledge to practical reasons why Touhou would be a trip.

Of course, you baka, Gensokyo is a refuge for things not existing (or no longer existing) in the real world.

>> No.6029426

>>6029417
Yes, but one of them is firmly rooted in reality, and as it happens also happens to have hallucinogenic properties. Why, though would fungi that no longer/don't exist be around in large numbers in Gensokyo, whereas other kinds of organic living things have the same form and species present in the real world. This makes it easy to conclude that the mushroom most firmly rooted in reality also has the same properties in Gensokyo.

>> No.6029446

There is no evidence of fly agaric being in Gensokyo.

There is no evidence of Marisa using her mushrooms as anything but magical components (that is, she doesn't eat them).

Fungi would obviously need moisture in the form of rain to grow and propagate by way of mushrooms.

Which begs the question: How can weather patterns exist in a closed, and by most accounts relatively small system like Gensokyo?

Oh no you have found the holes in my argument which make it simply a work of hopeful fiction.

But in all seriousness, I'm sure there was mention in some official material of her eating some of her mushrooms, though I can't remember where. Knowing me I've made myself think there is, but there actually isn't.
Oh well, the entire topic was something exciting to think about in any case.

I think saying every drug without pharmaceutical applications is a bad drug is pretty much the absolute truth, thought I'm sure there will be disagreement.

I just remembered I told my friends I'd help them find hallucinogens during the mushroom season, I'd better study hard in case I end up killing one of them with my identification skills.

This is over-the-counter, as well.

You've got way way too much to learn if you think all drugs are actually bad.

Well, if people use drugs it is their own choice. I have a large number of friends who use them and they're still really neat people to hang around. I wouldn't use the majority of them, for example, however even stuff that's "bad" is still enjoyable. Fast food is a good comparison, for instance in that it isn't seen as "good", and is labelled bad by many yet it is still widely used, however unlike many drugs it is socially acceptable.

Back in my high school everyone and their mother's dog at the very least smoked pot, and a sizable chunk did harder drugs.
