Mooney is the best! Wasnt he the first westerner to have a legit psychedelic trip? From peyote. Magic mushrooms were only discovered by westerners in 1957.

Ha! That’s what I’d thought! Go down the rabbit hole and find some evidence—I dare you :)

There is no evidence of psilocybin use in the west prior to 1957. Crazy but true.
