Social - On: Magic Mushrooms and Close-mindedness

[JustAnotherNoob]

SWIM is looking for opinions(ideally female but all are welcome) on a situation
SWIM is dealing with. SWIM does marijuana maybe three times a week,
though since college started it has been lowered to once every
week or two. SWIM's girl of two years does the same, and enjoys drinking
as well(SWIM isn't much of a drinker).

SWIM has done mushrooms once before, about a year ago, and his girlfriend
frowned down upon it greatly. Recently SWIM (who's a BIO major) has taken an interest in growing Shrooms for the enjoyment and challenge(SWIM could easily purchase plenty of high quality shrooms if he wanted to).

When SWIM ran this idea past his girl, she responded very negatively, and
when SWIM inquired as to what her reasons may be, she gave many
reasons which were completely untrue. SWIM gave his girlfriend factual
evidence that her fears of mushrooms were nothing more than
those she inherited from a society that frowns down upon their use(the frown is exceptionally large in the state of SWIM's residence).

SWIM's girlfriend simply said "Nothing you say can change my mind, I don't like them", as well as "it seems like you're turning into a "druggie(cue sad eyes)"". Also, apparently mushroom use once every year constitutes a "druggie", while frequent marijuana use does not.

While SWIM did not push the issue(it is SWIM's girlfriend's right to not like something if she wants) it made SWIM feel very frustrated that his girlfriend hated something because of a deeply sown prejudice which isn't true, and refuses to believe otherwise even when presented with facts to the contrary.

SWIM loves this girl so he'll just have to agree to disagree with her, but he was curious if perhaps others here who've no doubt dealt with similar situations have any positive input.
