Difficulty Knowing Magic Mushrooms Potency

Because it’s hard to tell the difference from the types of magic mushrooms and their potency, more people prefer cannabis than taking magic mushrooms. Cannabis is the preferred drug of choice in Western cultures. Asian cultures prefer drugs that speed them up keeping them highly functional.
