What are the side effects of shrooms?

aight what are the side effects of srooms and how long does it last? I want to try em but I want to know all about them first... anyone know anything useful for me?

I'm assuming that you are talking about psychedelic mushrooms? I can share with you the low down of them as I use to grow them. What makes you trip is the Psilocybin in the fungi. It's best to eat them fresh off the rice cake when they are still moist (they are also not illegal this way...they are only illegal once they are dried and packaged for sell), but if you are getting them dry thats ok...I recommend dipping them in hummus or soak them in honey. I would suggest that if you are going to eat them for your first time you should eat only about 1/2 a gram (presuming they are dry)wait about 30 min and if you feel nothing eat another 1/2 gram. The effect of psilocybin mushrooms is caused by an effect to the body similar to food poisoning. The psilocy causes a poisoning effect to the body, and the bodys reaction to it is the euphoric/psychedelic effect that we know. There is a chance that you could become nauseous and even get sick from the fungi. You can't really overdose on them, nobody has ever died from them, but I suppose if you were to eat a crazy amount you would need stomach pumping from the 'food poisoning'. The euphoria effect is much different from what is experienced with LSD. It's more calm, it's natural, you don't get the 'Chemical blues' the next day, it has no negative effect to the body nor the brain that causes any kind of permanent damage. Depending on the amount of fungi you ingest it can last between 2-4 hours, the intensity will also depend on the quantity you take. Don't take them in a 'hustle bustle' environment...it's better to be in a calm atmosphere or outside in the midst of nature. Make sure you always trust your source and be responsible. Drink plenty of water and don't drive.

Personally I do not recommend that anyone do drugs. I think there are much better and more healthy outlets for enlightenment than to take illegal or non-illegal narcotics. You look very young and bright. Don't waste yourself away and wash out your future because you would rather enjoy being high. I use to be traveling full speed ahead on a rough and beaten path in life that involved lots of drugs, men and booze. I had an amazing spiritual expierence when I was about 20 that changed the way I live my life. I would love to share it with you if you are interested. Just know that Jesus loves you very much and wants you to be sober so you are aware of your surroundings at all times so you don't get tricked in life by the enemy that watches you so closely. Please stay away from chemical drugs they will destroy you completely before you ever know what hit you. If you feel you must do something stick to the naturals and you will be somewhat safer, they won't hurt you as much physically, you are less likely to OD and you are more aware and the recovery is more pleasant.

I hope this helps you in some way shape or form.

Peace, Love the God bless.

Please don't try to pick the shrooms yourself from the wild - there are a number of types of mushrooms that look like shrooms, but are in fact deadly poisonous.

If you insist on picking them from the wild, remember that they grow in cow fields, right out of steaming cow patties. YUM!

I'm not going to lie, I tried them (and picked them) when I was younger. Go to your local library for a book on mushrooms...that way you'll be able to distinguish the poisonous from the psychedelics.

I had a close friend eat the wrong type of mushroom, and she was HORRIBLY sick, had a bad trip, and was taken to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. She basically threw up for 5 hours before calling 911. Talk about embarrassing.

Lol, I think I'll call her and roust her about it right now!

You should make better choices and not do drugs.

I've never tried them but I use to live on a huge cow farm and a lot of my friends also lived on cow farms. Some had good experiences while others had really bad ones. I guess it's depends on you. I personally wouldn't do them if I were you. Seriously drugs are bad. But that's just gross eating something under some cow patties.

wow, obviously you're smart enough to even know what shrooms are, considering you can't spell it.

hugs not drugs or put them on your cheese burger

I hope this helps.

Like LSD, psylicibin is possibly able to cause you flashbacks. Until you find out for sure you should avoid such an experience. You future job prospects could be effected due to security clearances. If you do I imagine you'd want to make sure they're dry or perhaps drink tea since fly spit would introduce maggots, and slugs can introduce bad bacteria. Be happy to be drug free.

hahahaahah!! I used to do shrooms all the time when I was a bit younger.. im only 19, so dont think im some old folk whos talking about the 60s LOL!

anyways, I used to love it.. I would see messed up things... or get tripped out by cats walking by LOL! one time I thought a grocery bag WAS a cat!! lol.. it makes you laugh... one time my friend was eating a cheese string and she looked like a little mouse eating her cheese LOL! um... my friend was driving and I was in the back high on shrooms and the whole time it felt like I was in a video game LMAO!! it was so cool!! the worst part is when you want to go to bed.. it just doesnt mix... I kept hearing music when there was none playing... I would close my eyes and picture me driving down a rainbow, f*cked up stuff like that LOL.. and I remember my sister coming in my room (she did them with me) and telling me she had a messed up 'dream' which was the same rainbow thing as mine LOL! it can be fun, but for your first time I advise you to take only a little bit... then gradually take more as you go along... or wait until the next time you do it. Have fun! I dont do drugs now.. the odd time smoke weed, but the reason I am not telling you to 'stay drug free' like the person above me is because you are going to do it either way. Everyone tries something in their life and you already want to do it anyway. Some stranger on the internet is not going to stop you from doing it, so Im just sharing some of my experiences with shrooms and giving a bit of advise!
