Psilocybin

Finally. A step in the right direction? What do you think?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

god bless psilocybin. Mushrooms are awesome. If I were on my death bed too, I'd definitely find someone to bring me a shit load to gobble up.

Spiritual significance? I just do them (or used to) to get fucked up

+YES

I really don't want to preach here, but I think doing them just to get fucked up is stupid. Or well, no. It's fun to get fucked up, but they're so much more than that in my opinion. Psychedelics can do alot of things to you, and most people who do try them the first time, don't know what they are, and what they do to you. I've never been to a party on psychedelics, but I know I wouldn't want to try either. I prefer taking them where I'm comfortable, and when I want to. If you're not prepared for it, then can bite more than you think. I don't recommend taking them to get fucked up.

I take them to get fucked up. Never taken them at parties.... Just with a friend or 2. Enjoy the visuals and the feeling it gives you....


I dont think a drug will help me know more about myself than i allready do.

we dede osborn smacked out

Really they should have filmed them all, it would have made a great watch

Alright. I've never really been overwhelmed by the hallucinations, but more of the feelings of empathy and understanding.

Here's a little something to help set the mood:





Enjoy

Its just hilarious that Americans needs fucking study to explain to them what every open minded individual who has tried mushrooms already fucking knows.




Yeah, this recent story has me wanting to do some.

Of all the things I did "back in the day" shrooms are the only thing that to this day scare the shit out of me. I guess one bad experience ruins it forever.

Indeed, people who have taken psychedelics have already known this for ages. I doubt this is gonna change anything, but I'd like to hope it's a step in the right direction.

It's kind of stupid though, there's a shop in Copenhagen who sells the vines and stuff to make ayahuasca, that contains DMT, which is possibly one of the strongest hallucinogens in the world. They also sell mescaline, LSA, yopo, and pretty much any plant which is not known to the general public. But they're not allowed to sell mushrooms or cannabis, which is quite obviously very fucked up.

Yeah. It's what you make of it though. Alot of people don't know what they're doing, and they can get burnt oh so hard on this stuff. It's not physically dangerous, but it can be dangerous if you're not mentally prepared, and don't know what to make of it all afterwards. Though I've never seen any of my pretty normal, mentally stable friends get hurt, or psyched up about getting a bad experience. It's part of the charm of the mushroom, imo, IF you know how to handle it .

I found LSD much more pleasant than mushrooms, personally.

I really wish I trusted myself to try mushrooms and other psychedelics, but being a pretty high-strung person with some anxiety problems I don't think it'd be the best idea. Who knows though, friends have been trying to get me to do them for ages, maybe I'll crack.

Do me a favor. Don't try them if you don't want to. Read up on it, and decide yourself.

Oh, I already know I don't want to / shouldn't, hence why I haven't. I've read up on it a good bit.

I merely meant it might be something I'd like to do eventually. The idea is very appealing to me, I just don't think I'd react very well.

I think it was just bad luck. I tried them later on in my "career", with friends in a comfortable environment after I had used similar substances in the past and was not too worried. It completely destroyed my ability to maintain cohesive lines of thought, and during the brief moments where I was able to hold a thought, I convinced myself that I would never again be able to think normally. Trying to figure out how I was going to interact with friends/family/those around me with such disorganized thoughts (which I was convinced would be the rest of my life) scared the crap out of me.

Of course everything worked out in the end, but that didn't make the experience any less frightening...

To each their own though. I'm not saying that anyone should or should not do it because of my experience or that there couldn't be benefits from it for some people.

I've never had the chance to try LSD, as it is virtually impossible to get around here. It's only because I've hunted for mushrooms that I've actually been graced with them. It's hard to find people who want to sell them. Last year I managed to find around 2-300 Psilocybe semilanceata which my and my friends have had enjoying. I can almost smell the season once again .

I had about 2 or 3 really bad experiences with mushrooms... Thats it though, i knew it was a bad experience and it wouldnt always happen. So i tried it again and shazzam!

Usually happened because i was too drunk or took too many.

I've been in the hell aswell, once. I know how you feel, and yes it can be near impossible to control. The scariest part for me is all the subconscious things being brought to memory. But once you've tried hell once, and afterwards realised that it wasn't that bad, you get less anxious, and are able to let it flow through you. That's what I've experienced atleast.

I've seen a couple of people have bad experiences on separate occasions, but they were both doing it for the first time and both had some deep seeded shit going on personally. For me, the only time I started drifting down the wrong path on mushrooms, I got lost in a bathroom and just sat there alone for like an hour wondering if I was going insane. Luckily I snapped out of it and rejoined the party. You just gotta welcome whatever comes during the trip.

Most of the times I've done it I was with good friends I knew well and either out at the beach at night or in a cozy environment. Except at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam... I was so fucked up I thought I could swim inside the paintings. Fuck! I want some now!!!!

That's good to hear. More than likely I'll stay off that path, but knowing others have gone through the same ordeal is somehow comforting. Not that I'm glad other people have had to go through it, but it's good to know people have had similar experiences.

If you did'nt already know, you can read other people's experiences here: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/s...Mushrooms.shtml

I quite like this one: http://www.erowid.org/experiences/exp.php?ID=13283

In truth, people are more frightened of themself, and being alone with themself, than anything else.

Yeah, I've read through that site quite a bit. I think the thing for me with that experience is that with everything else, there's always been a "place" where I could go, even if for just a moment, to kind of regroup my thoughts in a sober manner. No matter how drunk/high/rolling/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, I'm always able to pull myself out of it to assess the situation, if only for a short time. With that particular experience, I wasn't able to do that and I didn't enjoy it.
