For religionists who believe that all flora and fauna were created deliberately and with intelligence, what is the purpose of something like magic mushrooms and are there any theological reasons for the eating of them to be forbidden?

I have never read anything in the Holy Bible that forbids eating of mushrooms in particular. Perhaps someone on the Science Forum can answer your question on their purpose.
No. That's FMF job now
But i recommend he do San pedro cactus it will give him the ability to talk to nature and nature will tell him if there is or is not a god. I recommend he read about some trips first. Here is an experience to get him started on his journey 🙂
He can easily communicate with the big tree. We said hi. It felt real.
I was noticing the tree. The biggest tree in the back
yard. It was radiating happiness. We said hi. It seemed so real. I knew that
the mescaline was opening the doors of perception and what its effects
were.... but this seemed real. I knew it to be the effects of the entheogen.
The tree said it was starting to wind down for the winter. It was really
happy that I watered it a lot last summer, but stated it was a bit thirsty.
One more good watering is all it needs this year.
The communication took on a different dimension. I blended with the tree. We
became "one flesh." I started learning from the genetic memories in the
tree. I saw how humans have the same DNA memories as the trees until we
branched. We are all one... the trees and the humans. The humans just
developed differently for different reasons. The trees are our cousins. They
can teach us a lot. Their technology is different. They were kind enough to
evolve to give us air. They have strived to help support all other life, but
it turns away and destroys everything.
Evolution is like a software program that is running and constantly
modifying itself to create a perfect environment for the planet and
ultimately the universe. It started off with 1-celled organisms but,
the spirits are eternal, so long before the spirits got together and decided
what they would do, their function... the spirit of the trees decided to
become physical trees... the cells started dividing and splitting, each
spirit took it over and guided its evolution...

Originally posted by stellspalfieI would say the answer to your question is no, not all. There are references in the Bible to the black arts and sorcery (pharmakeia). Typically drugs (pharmakeia) were/are used to induce hallucinations, trances and visions. People who do such things are in some pretty interesting company, see Revelation 21:8. So I would say not all is codoned.
does this mean the bible condones the use of all drugs derived from plants?
Haiti is a perfect example of where this is still practiced today, voodoo is rampant.
Conversely, the Bible speaks of oils, balms, etc. that have healing properties and used for medicinal purposes.
See 'Pharmakeia and the Bible' on Wikipedia, although I don't always lend too much credibility to Wiki, this does a fair job in the way of explaining the term.
