    Do you think several negative interpretations and/or several positive interpretations would help avoid this?
Negative interpretations are easy. Mix up all those negs with at least one positive for greater cognitive complexity.

As for mushrooms: The ones we were looking for were very delicate with little brown tips. I imagine eating the mushroom made it possible to see more everywhere, and how could we not? It was the strangest thing. The picture above is from a University of British Columbia article about how these psilocybes used to be all over campus in the 70s. Where are they now?

|“Through the late ’60s and early ’80s, there was a lot of interest in [magic mushrooms], and they grew very abundantly on campus,” said Kroeger. “On campus, we have a couple thousand species. The ones that would be desirable for food might be one dozen or two dozen, the ones that are psychoactive might be four or five species.”
