I have easy access to them but even so the first time I had mushrooms when I was 12 wasn't cool and I may have some unexpected trauma from that experience.

Unwritten rule that I guess we should write: no drugs for children.

They don't need their minds expanded, their tiny minds are still sealing themselves together.

Also, people should start with small doses and work their way up.

In fact, there's a lot of research and care people should do beforehand. Mushrooms can be a wonderful experience, but can also be a traumatic one. Learning about them ahead of time goes a long way.

Sure, learn to chew your food or it'll go down the wrong pipe.
