Unfortunately the admins at lemmy.world have removed the orginal Shrooms community effective immediately.

Fortunately the understanding admins here at sh.itjust.works have assured me that we will be welcome here! With luck we can rebuild the great community here!

Hope to see you all again soon!

      This was the message from one of the admins of Lemmy.world

      Hello. Your Shrooms community was brought to our attention today. The community violates our Lemmy.world rule one, no illegal content as Magic mushrooms are not legal in the United States and several other countries. As such, the community will need to be removed.

        Welcome! I’m glad you found a home here.

        I wonder if .world will also ban their cannabis_cultivation community, since cannabis and psychedelic mushrooms have a similar legal status in the US - it’s legal to possess/cultivate for recreational and medical use in some states, but illegal at the federal level.

        Imo, lemmy.world is a super weak instance and the admins there refuse to take a stance against pretty much anything. Seriously, banning a community discussing shrooms?

        This is bullshit. Can’t blame them for covering their asses, but I’m certaily not going to contribute more content to their instance and will move to sh.itjust.works now.

        In my opinion, this is a mess that Jerboa (or whichever client you use) needs to fix. I should be able to be logged into several instances, see the composite feed (with deduplication) and when posting something choose which instance’s account I’m doing it from. Then it’s completely immaterial if lemmy.world wants to be a safe space for aww and shit.

        That sucks. I was looking to begin small scale cultivating of commercially viable mushrooms. I’m hoping to do it in a way that I can scale up of I get a good foothold in the local farm to table places.

        I thought prop 122 made shrooms legal in Colorado?

        S*** just works is totally cool anyway, the arbitrary illegality of a physically harmless compound seems like such a weak reason to ban a community.

    As a fungicurious Coloradoan, it’s super frustrating seeing resources constantly getting attacked in the name of federal laws and cultural stigma. Glad the community has a home here.

      Denver Spore Company is great, btw. You gotta get some Mac Galactics when you get a hang for growing. :)
