Shrooms...

So really what do shrooms do to your body and what are some of the affets you fell after eating this thing??
Can they damage your long term, like brain cell loss and what not?

and anyone have some fun stories? All shroom info is needed. thanks :D

Ive done it a few times. It's pretty cool. The trips are fun. The only problem is that a bad trip is I dunno, really bad. One time I got really fucked up off of shrooms and it was a great feeling. Then I guess when I was coming down I got really sad. It was pretty awful. But that only happened once. Most of the time its pretty rad, I guess. Especially if you're with a bunch of other cool people.

Basically your whole body starts to get kinda numb, and you hallucinate a bit. It lasts for like four or five hours. Its like marijuana squared or something. It does kinda feel like that, just with light hallucinations. Yea, the hallucinations are neat but they're not like LSD acid trips where you see floating bunnies or something so dont expect that. Its basically like a lot of patterns, you see the carpet move, shit like that. Still its good if you ask me.

Im sure that a lot of it damages your brain in one way or the other, but I cant be arsed to research it. Worth trying, I guess. But dont get into the hippie mindset thats all like "dude it like expppaaands your mind". Its just another drug, really.

Kinda pricey.

I've never had a bad trip with shrooms, though I've never eaten more than an eighth at once. It can get me fairly revved up; it makes things more intense. I never really hallucinated off shrooms, but I was always doing something somewhat active, not just sitting and staring. One mistake was eating them prior to going out to a campus bar when I was in college. Booming while amongst new pledges and drunk ass sorority chicks was a fucked up experience - I felt claustrophic (which I usually never do) and it was very hard communicating with anyone not shrooming with me. At least from my experiences, however, it's definitely not on the level of acid and I would be more prone to shroom again whereas I'll never drop a tab again in my life.

I see weird shit move in my peripheral vision all the time, and I don't even take drugs. This crazy jew-kranian chick I used to know did alot of hard drugs and she said shrooms are very fun and *fairly* safe. That is something unexpected could happen, but atleast it's not habit forming.

Diff pretty much summed up my feelings towards them.

They're fun, and if you stare at stuff long enough they'll start doing all sorts of crazy things. It's not that apparent unless you're actually looking for it though. Like if you're not looking at patterns in things, you're not really gonna hallucinate. Well, something like that. I guess if you take enough that won't be the case.

Oddly enough, I got kinda sad once also when I was coming down, but not cuz I was coming down from it...it was just an odd feeling. Hard to describe, really.

And, like diff said, they are kinda pricey. I guess it's worth it, though. And if you're gonna take em, I recommend doing it in the daytime and outdoors. There's something about mushrooms and nature that just goes together.

But, in the end, acid is a hell of alot cheaper, and a whole lot crazier. :)

Just a note, I don't actually touch anything anymore... but when I was doing drugs, this site was useful :)

I took an eighth of mushrooms back in high school, I guess I had an alergic reaction or something.

I went blind, and tripped for three days. It sucked ass.

For my money LSD was always a better deal anyway. Didn't taste so shitty, and if you smoke some trees as you're coming off the acid you don't get the neck pains, and the shitty feelings.

:lol: Three days? That's nuts man.

I agree. I've only done mushrooms once, and I have no desire to ever do them again.

Mostly.. Do these things cause any type of brain cell damage or loss? Like in the use of Weed, or Alcohol? Thats really what i want to know, is there a dumbening process or long term mental damage? :D
