Honors Reading Part 1 "Authors Credibility"

Entry 1: The authors credibility and background:

Quote:
"One side makes you smaller, one side makes you taller. The use of psilocybin as a psychoactive drug should not be taken too lightly. As a toy it is too often abused and the result makes you smaller mentally. As an aid to beyond your belief. Thus you grow taller in your psychic use, but I definitely condemn it's abuse."

Introduction: How to identify and grow
psilocybin mushrooms by Jule Stevens &
Rich Gee, p. 5

Background:
Jule Stevens and Rich Gee seem to me as young researchers looking into the study of
Mycology. Together they have spent hours putting careful research into psilocybin mushrooms.This author might not know everything about these mushrooms but their research has been reviewed by other scientist and is now a well known as a go to book for information on psilocybin mushrooms that both professional mycologist and amateurs alike can go to get a great understanding of the mysterious magic mushroom.

Authors Purpose of Book:
I feel that the main goal of this author is to provide knowledge of psilocybin mushrooms to anyone that is interested on finding more knowledge of this specie that we know so little about. Throughout the book Jule Stevens and Rich Gee thouroughly talk about every process to properly identify psilocybin mushrooms. He also goes into much detail about growing this certain species either in your house or outdoors in a garden or lawn, showing different process that will yield in healthy mushroom crops that can be digested or further studied.
