Replace slang names with chemical names #45

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.

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
