I don't have shroom in my life for shrooms :'(

10/22/2011 10:51:25 PM

I used to grow them, but I was never really a fan.

10/22/2011 11:00:22 PM

I used them once at a weekend music festival. I found the glow necklace that I was twirling around very interesting and would not stop giggling about it for like hours. I did feel very carefree.
I had to eat almost a quarter bag of caps and stems to get high. It took Ken waaaaay less. He was absolutely adorable on them.

I have been told by a few friends that they got really paranoid on them. I don't know what causes these different reactions but I prob will not try them again.

Best times of my life involved shrooms

I'm Krallum and I approved this message

Hallucinogens SUCK major ass. I've tried two difference hallucinogens (one accidentally, the other on purpose), but not shrooms. No opinion of them, but I won't be trying them.

However, I did try to knock my husband upside the head with "time" aka a clock and tried to gouge his eyes out all the while laughing about it. It's kinda a funny story. That was 8 years ago and I haven't touched a drug since.

jesus christ, I'm glad I used to hang with people that could hold their shit together.

But yea, if you're batshit when you're sober...best to stay away from hallucinogens.

I love shrooms. I had some sauteed tonight.

10/22/2011 11:25:35 PM

Yeah, there are some people who really enjoy hallucinogens and then there are other folks who cannot hold their shit together. I can't hold my shit together. Foxy was 8 hours of really bad fucked upped suck.

E was my life changer drug. I haven't touched it in many many years, but I can still wax poetic about it.

Same. I love reading about influential people who used psychedelic drugs.

This is really cool:

Ritual ancient Greek ceremony where it is suspected that participants used entheogens. Plato was one of those participants.

agreed. MDMA needs to be legal and prescribed. That shit changes lives for real

10/22/2011 11:35:35 PM

e was actually pretty terrible for me the one time i did it. probably because i ended up as caretaker for a friend who took too much and had a freakout.

10/22/2011 11:37:40 PM

E is the only drug I have ever done that felt amazing while I was on it, didn't keep me awake when I was ready for bed, and made me feel amazing when I woke up the next morning

10/22/2011 11:40:17 PM

did it once and really loved it

paid for it (mentally) afterwards

10/22/2011 11:41:20 PM

I would like to try them, but I am worried about the paranoia....I get paranoid if I get too high. So I doubt I'll get that opportunity.

10/22/2011 11:41:41 PM

^
if you tend to get paranoid, just start with a small dose and have someone sit for you that you trust (and is experienced with mushrooms)

10/22/2011 11:43:16 PM

i dont think i can do anything that would cause me to hallucinate, i have heard you dont really see too much on shrooms, but there are some things that i dont want coming to mind if i am that high

10/22/2011 11:43:54 PM

As far as shrooms go, I am not a fan of hallucinogens period. I like drugs that keep me in control, and hallucinogens are definitely not that. Both times I ate shrooms I got to a point that I just was over it and just wanted to go to sleep.......but that wasn't happening.

^ and just like I suggest for every drug: the first time you do it, do it alone or with someone you really trust. don't do a drug for the first time at a party full of people. if you are anything like me, the anxiety will fuck up your whole experience.

you won't see anything that isn't there. it just distorts things that are there. inanimate objects seem to spring to life.

ex. an animal-shaped cloud might start moving, or grass will wave like the ocean.

negative trains of thought are what really fuck with your head, in my experience.

[Edited on October 22, 2011 at 11:56 PM. Reason : .]

10/22/2011 11:52:46 PM

^ truth

when I took them everything just got amplified. The moon looked HUGE. I tried to watch TV and all the heads were HUGE.

The thing I hated about it was that time seemed to stand still. I thought hours had passed but when I looked at my watch it had only been like 15 minutes

10/22/2011 11:55:19 PM

1st time: fucking great.

2nd time: was in key west on spring break. We are in the hotel watching some strange bay watch like show where the primary actor beats up on some giant octopus. We don't seem to feel the shrooms at all so we head to the beach at fort Zachery Taylor. My friend and I decide to swim out to a rock outcropping in the ocean. Suddenly the shrooms kick in and with both are convinced that the giant octopus from the show is in the water, and we are terrified to leave the island. We spend 6 hours on the rocks, without sun-block, and end up completely fried with sunburn for the rest of the trip.


3rd time: I get so fucked up that i am convinced that my friend, who is wearing the same scooby doo hat that i wore as a child, is actually me when i was young. I proceed to tell him about all the mistakes I will make and try and convince him to avoid them. Later, thinking that the shrooms are out of our system, we end up going to the blueridge cinema to watch sleepy hollow. My friend freaks out in the theater and has a panic attack, and I go to the restroom to try and induce vomitting. I hear a strange train whistle, my vision goes crazy as all i see is orange, and i collapse in the stall. Later we found out a "friend" laced them with acid.


There was no 4th time.

I would not recommend doing any kind of hallucinogen for the first time by yourself. Always good to have a trusted, sober friend around in case the experience goes awry.

then you probably were getting fake pills. MDMA is a fairly heavy stimulant, and the next day depression is horrid. PCP and DXM are used as a fake MDMA substitute in a lot of pills, and they do give you an afterglow feeling the next day. They're not stimulants either, so you could sleep on them relatively easily.

I think that every mentally stable person should try shrooms at least once in their college years, and not in a party or concert setting. I couldn't imagine trying to take any psychoactive substance after the age of 25 though.

10/23/2011 1:15:40 AM

Why not after the age of 25?

Me and my roommate have talked about trying shrooms for the first time. I have lung issues that don't allow me to smoke anything. We're both writers and feel like it's probably an experience we should at least have once.

I'm personally worried about personal issues though. I've had anxiety on and off since I was in middle school (never quite bad enough for medication) and "serious" paranoia for about a year in high school. I'm pretty stable now, but worried that something hallucinogenic would make me really anxious.

10/23/2011 1:35:50 AM

the 25 cutoff isn't set in stone, but the reaosning for it is because the frontal lobe of the brain is fully developed by then and the perception and decision making capabilities of that portion of the brain are fully established by then. The brain is one of the last organs to develop during adolescence, and the frontal lobe area isn't fully developed in stone until the early 20's. Before this age, our perception and reasoning abilities are very impressionable

Drugs like mescaline, LSD, and shrooms can drastically change a persons perception of reality. They have a way of making us break down and analyze every litttle thought process we have in reaching a thought or decision. I see this as beneficial to a young adult whose frontal lobe isn't fully developed and is trying to form their own opinion on life and reality. In an older person, however, I see a much greater risk of the drugs trying to break down perceptions of reality that are hard-wired into the person's fully developed brain and causing an increased risk of mental breakdown instead of enlightenment.

10/23/2011 2:09:16 AM

just take a low dose and it should be all good unless you're already bipolar or schizophrenic or what have you

10/23/2011 2:11:03 AM

if you have a bad trip it's like a living hell and you will never, ever, even consider tripping again. you can have a bunch of good trips but all it takes is one sketchy situation to flip a trip around on you and it's inescapable shit storm for 6+ hours.

10/23/2011 2:50:09 AM

with psychedelics, paying attention to set and setting is essential

if you're going to go for a ride down the highway of enlightenment, you need to be with people you totally trust and in a place that you feel extremely comfortable. minding these factors cannot be stressed enough.

furthermore, go into the trip prepared to let go. both the power and the terror of the psychedelic journey comes from the elimination of your ego. its terrifying because the ego is largely a desperate, grubby beast that desires the exact opposite of being diminished. its powerful (and for me, beautiful and transformative) because it breaks down barriers that allow you see and experience the universe and existence in unimaginable ways.

of course, we all have different biochemistries and all substances aren't for all people. that said, for some, psychedelics can ofter a sensation of connection and glimpse of peace that will forever positively alter the way you conceive of, and interact with life.

there was some study recently where they were administering shrooms to cancer patients to see if it could ease their anxiety about death. supposedly, the trials were mostly successful.

10/23/2011 2:59:17 AM

10/23/2011 3:00:31 AM

Mushrooms are my absolute favorite thing. We go way back. The only substance that I can say, without hesitation, has changed me for the better.

Never heard this measured in grams, apparently the chocolate had a gram of mushrooms and 100mg of weed. So far not having the awesome experience of shrooms the 2 times from over a decade ago, but getting i guess a body buzz idk. Just really don’t get the allure of drugs at this point. Wine is much better

2/7/2022 9:43:20 PM

my paranoia gets too heavy with these things, so I end up hating the high/trip.

final verdict...
shrooms: good on pizza, gravy, and salads. that's about it.

2/7/2022 10:35:32 PM

they are probably going to wind up as a legal medical treatment in our lifetime
