Hey guys i'm interested in maybe trying shrooms some time in my future, but being paranoid me im afraid i could damage my body. I wanted to know if shrooms harm you body and most importantly my brain. Im not planning on doing them a whole lot, but i want to make sure i don't damage my body( excluding poor choices being made during the trip). I am aware acid and those types of drugs damage your body/brain wich is why id never try those types of drugs (also due to there highly addictive qualities). So please feel free to answer or add on to this.

-thanks

It is untrue that they hurt or damage you in any way. LSD, lysergic acid diethylamide is one of the safest substances known to man in terms of being a psychoactive substance. These drugs are pharmacuticles, MDMA, LSD even meth. But they only will cause damage if you go above and beyond the extreme. Most of these substances are likely used on a daily basis by some people who are functioning society types. Honestly mushrooms is more likely to cause you harm because say the mushrooms were growing in arsenic rich substrate then the mushrooms you eat will contain arsenic, but if you took the mushrooms and attempted at a psilocybin/psilocin extraction then you would have a more sure product. But honestly if you don't want to do them don't, but if you feel like some of the information you have been given in life is a complete lie, then try mushrooms or a stronger psychedelic (mind manifesting) drug and crack your head open in the spiritual sense.

Peace

P.S. I have done mushrooms a few times, but acid like 5 or 6 and mdma only once. So it really is personal preferences well as the setting and just the quantum reality of nature.

shrooms are posison, they will kill you if you eat to many, be careful, start with a gram and work your way up, shrooms or lsd do not hurt you chemically, shrooms can posion you, lsd cannot, lsd is safer, id say go with some lsd.

first off let me tell you mushrooms are no joke they will have you ""tripping" literally! i have done them many times and enjoyed it most of the times but if your not in the right state of mind and environment they can be a nightmare except for its real. if i were you i would eat no more than half an eighth 1.7 g. and see how you like it. that experience should be enough to tell you whether or not mushrooms are for you.

second i dont believe they damage your brain like acid but i can tell you a little story about my when my cousin and i did shrooms. we both ate a half eighth maybe a bit more and went walking out in the hills by our house. it was cool we were having fun but my cousin kept saying he felt odd "compressed" is the word he kept using, whatever that meant i kind of felt the same way at the time. we head back home and plAY XBOX MX VS ATV my cousin was watching me play and we were both mesmorized by how real it looked. we thought we were in the game. we both just daze off into the game for a while then out of nowhere my cousin layed back on the bed he was sitting on and arched his back and his eyes started rolling around. he was totally out of it almost unconcious but he was moving but all tensed up. i had to smack the shit out of him to snap him out of it. he was white as a ghost and couldnt walk for a while after and he was just all out of it. he was so scared i had to sleep on the floor next to him that night, we actually stayed up watching half baked for the most part which was hillarious. the scary part is he said he felt different for a long time after that and he wont smoke weed at all anymore because he said it makes him trp out almost like shrooms and he even passed out from smoking weed after the shrroms incident.

im not trying to scare you out of doing shrooms. just sharing my 2 cents. i have in fact done them a few times since then and have had no problems. i believe it was something different about my cousin that caused this. i actuallty think the shrooms caused him to have an epileptic seizure. on the front page of all video game booklets there is a warning about having epileptic seizures.

also if i must say i would definitely go with some nice clean mdma "xtc" or do it with shrooms or lsd, that is simply amazing!

Socalrippin has some smart things to say and then...

NEVER MIX 2 SUBSTANCES YOU ARE INEXPERIENCED WITH.

Although mixing e and other psychedelics is the probably the coolest thing in the world, dont do it until you have done each substance a couple of times.

There are no physical dangers to mushrooms or lsd, but there some psychological risks you are taking, but nothing that cant be accessed.

Does you close family member with schizophrenia, are in the midst of a life crisis (family member dying, bad breakup, drug addiction, obsessively worrying about where your life is going, repressed guilt) things of this nature, these kind of emotional problems MAY be cause for staying away from psychedelics (at least until you have them sorted out).

There is no addictive properties to the psychedelic drugs.

Otherwise, take half an eighth of mushrooms and have fun, be in a safe environment and have a trusted sober friend on call.

happy trails

Really i thought shrooms and lsd hurt your brain and made you...well not as smart. Like you see those washed out bums that do meth and acid, and it's nearly impossible to have an educated conversation with them. I also know people who have done meth, crack, and acid, and they've ruined their nerves making them constantly shake. I duno i just want to keep my health and sanity.

No those are just dumb people that try those drugs, some of them get shell shocked during the trip and just can't cope with the shit that they learn, others have preexisting health conditions or are hard abusers. I don't know a single normal, and I use that term loosely, person that has tried shrooms once and is changed in any profound way if they don't want to take that part of the trip in. I'm sure you will be fine but start with a low dose so you can control where it takes easier. On high doses you really just have to let the drug do its bidding or else you have a hell of a time trying to be in control for eight hours or whatever.

Peace

Common myth. The mechanics of psilocybe are not making you trip because of being poisoned. It is relatively non-toxic.

"Psilocybin makes up roughly 1% of the weight of Psilocybe cubensis mushrooms, and so nearly 1.7 kilograms of dried mushrooms, or 17 kilograms of fresh mushrooms, would be required for a 60 kg person to reach the 280 mg/kg LD50 rate of rats."

LD50 Psilocybin: is 280 mg/kg

"Estimates for the lethal dosage (LD50) of LSD range from between 200 µg/kg to more than 1 mg/kg of human body mass"

When did the number 280 become less than the number 1? I am pretty sure if I read correctly, Psilocybin is 280-1,400 times less likely to kill you than LSD according to the LD50.
