how often do you eat mushrooms?

of the magical sorts...

I eat a few grams each weekend.. and it's becoming quite a bit of knowledge to pick up weekly! I think I should cut back a bit.. but that's just me, how often do you trip? any negative effects? I have anxiety issues but shrooms never make those problems worse.. well sometimes pre-trip anxiety, but I mean the next week.. no negative effects that I know of yet. I actually feel like I can handle life much easier after a mushroom trip.. the knowledge sticks with me, even now.

I know some of you trip like 2 times weekly.. well at least on other mushroom forums. Do you notice any negative effects in your day to day life?

a question for the older folks.. when was the last time you ate them and why did you stop?

I try to do them at least once a year. I have done them about 10 times. It has changed as I have done them. The first one was really weird and I misinterpreted the experience and didnt like it. After that I was great and I tripped with a bunch of really good friends and has some amazing life changing experiences. The last time I did them I was alone and I did way to much and I thought I was dead and had to call a buddy to make sure I was still alive. When I was driving home I didnt think I was going to make it, weird ass feeling. I still love muggers, but I gotta pick my spots. When everything seems fucked up, I like to do some shrooms to "reset" reality and stop time and it really makes me appreciate everything in my life. Im not sure if I would ever do them every week, although if I was growing them again I might do them every month. Im growing some San Pedro and ive tried that once and it was similar to shrooms but I didnt have enough to truly experience the trip. Ill be doing more this winter, and hopefully Ill have some muggers to go with! Cheers

I trip as often as possible,on as many drugs as possible,as time permits..I don't get to shroom often but when I could id take 1.5 or so every night after work..but that was when I didn't have responsibilitys..I still trip quite often..on acid..

For me, mushrooms are not the same as having a beer or smoking a bowl. They provide a very special experience that can make you grow as a person. If you allow them, mushrooms can give you a deeper understanding of yourself and your own relation to the cosmos, nature and the rest of humanity. I do not eat mushrooms just to get high, that is what weed and beer is for. Mushrooms are a sort of church of the mind that you go to when you need enlightenment and direction.

I agree other than the religious aspect..its a chemical that induces hallucinations..no more..what you get out of it for yourself,that remains to be determined..some say religion,I say realization..to each his own,and I truely remain respectfiul of your beliefs...

Perhaps we said the same thing but in our own context..I'm stoned.

I don't look at mushrooms as a god or some kind of higher being. I look at it as a key, the same I do with all drugs. A key to your mind, it shows you your inner self. If you don't like what you see, you have a bad trip.. if you like what you see, you have a good time. Either way, you learn something. However you want to use shrooms, you WILL learn from them. So no, I don't take them JUST to get high, I damn well know I'm gonna learn a few things before the night ends

but i'm not gonna deny I LOVE the giggles and the great visuals.

When I said "church of the mind" I meant that as a metaphor. The way the chemicals in mushrooms interact with brain cells do allow one to see other perspectives. This can allow one overcome one's own mental blocks, phobias and inhibitions. Ultimately, this leads to the person being in control of their own brain instead of that person being a slave to the cumulative results of life experiences.

That is where I am coming from, man!

No offense,being a science man,any thing described,related to,used in a context,or closely related to religion I'm not gonna take into consideration as a discription..I understand what you're saying as well as I hope you undderstand what I'm saying...

Back when I first started growing I use to trip like twice a month. But after a while it started losing it's "magic". So now I trip like once every 4-6 months.

I'm a frequent experiencer of hallucinatory perceptual perpetual indulgence , it certainly helps to open the first door and gives you some deep experiences that provide understanding of concepts easily avoided with today's strategy to keep people focused on not focusing. I think its an amazing tool, that said it only helped me get to deeper understandings doorstep, I now meditate very frequently and exersize great care with myself and life which has followed through TaiChiChuan. The question of eradic fluxuations of emotion in time its all very easily understood and caught in the act of occuring to be accepted and for the experience to not be overwhelming but very peace providing and thought provoking, I have anxiety as well, but usually it starts after a while of unawareness where the body almost subconciously reacts to provide some sort of relative wake up call. When maintaining awareness nothing really happens that I dont favor because I'm nurturing my body and mind with constant nutrition of all sorts even just recognizing the clarity provided when contrast is in sight, and the equality we all have without goals or limitations. all in all though thanks to the starting foundation I've produced a philosophy that keeps me at many times very in tune and in recognition and humble gratitude that we bring meaning to our own lives and do as we may its all up to us and all is just another avenue or platou on the large scale that maintains balance on so many small and large scales keeping this reality in very harmonious balance. So yeah man keep tripping and enjoy the journey and epiphanies along the road they will provide you with whatever it does and it'll damn well help you at some impass

That is for the best. Trip when you need it, not when you want it.

It never loses its magic for me..I allways learn or reinforce some belief,or come to a realization..wether profound or minescule..lsd,2cb&c,pcp,shrooms,mdma,mda,ketamine,dmt,mescaline,2ci,25c&bnbome...all have relative value in my outlook on life...no matter how often or how much...

Not a huge fan of diarrhea so not often.

I've done them a few times (probably a larger dose than I should have) and each time the trip was depressing and I would go to bed and not be able to sleep, hearing every little sound and tick that my brain would normally filter out, and I just lay there for hours trying not to go insane.

ahahahaha.. for a while I thought I was the only one to get diarrhea.. Had to do some searching on shroomery to see if I'm not alone.. we're not. They give da shits!

I feel if you properly use psychedelics,anything can be achieved..on a weekly or daily basis..no I don't want psychedelics..I need to..not every day,but when I feel I should..maybe that's more often than most,I feel I need to catch up

By anything,I feel even anxiety...

The shroom splatters suck.
