Expanding on Mushrooms, there are several other examples that use street names: LSD, MDMA, DMT, etc.
Would we want to specify the chemical names in these instances?
I made #128 to show what this would look like if we made the following changes:
~ alcohol = ethanol
~ amt = alpha-methyltryptamine
~ dmt = dimethyltryptamine
~ ghb/gbl = gamma hydroxybutyrate
~ ghb/gbl = gamma-butyrolactone
~ lsd = lysergic acid diethylamide
~ mdma = 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine
~ mushrooms = psilocybin mushrooms
~ mxe = methoxetamine
~ pcp = phencyclidine
Mushrooms cover multiple different psychoactive drugs. Especially nowadays with many things getting labeled as "mushroom gummies" commonly referring to Amanita Muscaria (and many of them being fake), I think it is best to be specific with what we are calling what and using more specific classifications.
