Too cute

Excellent composition and design

and the message comes through once again- 'Friends don't let friends do 'shrooms.' ((sorry for the obscure 'Rise of the Triad' videogame quote but I couldn't resist.))

So the DEA has sunk to using videogames to push their propaganda, huh?

A friend of mine grows psycho-active mushrooms in his backyard, or so he says. None of them have ever spoken to me, so I wouldn't know.

just that picking up one of the shrooms in game made your aim and vision twist and warp in weird ways. Not a good thing when you have a dozen screaming cultists trying to knife you.

I guess that makes sense. I never tried my friends mushrooms, but from what I gather they do make your perceptions unreliable. Though not so much where things are, or how big, or what shape... the effect of the mushrooms was more to make you wonder what they were, or what they were for, or if there was some ulterior purpose behind their existing.

There's a large "fandom" into psychedelic drugs -- mostly LSD, psyllocybin mushrooms, peyote, and other mind-altering drugs. (They mustn't be confused with classes of addictive drugs like the opiates, or drugs that affect the metabolism like cocaine or amphetimines, which are dangerous.) People into psychedelics tend to be a lot more responsible about their trips than the usual sort of addict of speed or crack, who are not usually smart about their drug use. My friend prepares for a trip, makes sure someone is around who can watch him, takes moderate doses, and stays indoors. It isn't someting he feels he wants to do frequently either. For him a psychedelic trip is a profoundly powerful introspective, experience, that sometimes results in insight about his own nature. Or if not that, then at least its an experience of feeling something profound has happened, even though often it isn't. Fans of psychedelics don't seem to be interested in mood-alterning or body altering drugs that just make you feel good or give you energy.

Or maybe she DID read the sign...? ;)

I really like how the form of woman is so simplified by smoothing her out into a fungus. It's somehow elegant, and really flows in with the rest of the various shrooms littered around her. Nice work!

Seeing that her shirt and shoes are nearby, I'm guessing she did pick the mushrooms intentionally...

Can't imagine being stuck like that, I need to scratch my ass once in a while...
