shroomery.org has way more info than you'll ever need.

One thing that hasn't really been touched on yet is body heat. Depending on what strain you take there can be significant increases in body temp. Your central nervous system is going to be excited and consequently your temp will likely go up. Avoid strenuous activity, even walking may have you dripping with sweat. Have a cool dark place you can retreat to if need be. Also keep plenty of cool clean (you'll likely be able to taste significant impurities) water on hand. Keep to a wooded/nature area if possible, go camping.

Hey, don't forget to let us know whether you decide to try them or not. And if you do try them, tell us how it went.

Here is my suggestion...DRUGS ARE FOR MORONS SO DON"T DO IT. My nieghbors in college (3 19yr old girls) tried them one night and used colored markers to draw all over the kitchen floor. One of them got freaked out and had to call her boyfriend because "the pictures were coming to life and attacking her".

Ever notice how only the people who are anti-drug call those who disagree with them "morons", "losers", and things like that?

Should tell you something.

As far as shrooms (and psychedelics in general) go, as many have already said, Erowid can be a wonderful resource. However don't get too bogged down in reading trip reports before you do it yourself, as other people's experiences can give you expectations of your own, which your experience will most likely not match up with. It can be disappointing, or even frightening when your experience is going nothing like you expected. Better to have no preconceptions going in, so that whatever does happen you can take in stride.

Psychedelics can be a wonderful thing. Don't listen to all these people telling you that only a moron would do something so stupid and that you need to go get some friends who aren't morons. Do your own research, and make your own decisions. Know that you aren't going to have a sudden urge to run out in traffic or jump out the window. Know that you aren't going to get stuck tripping and think you're a glass of water for the rest of your life. Just take it easy and you'll be fine.

the simple truth is that, most people are gonna do drugs, whatever drug it is just be safe. no one is gonna scare you into not doing drugs, simple be knowledgable and take your time.

edit:
i think that means they didnt want you to stay, cause u were probly doin something wrong.

How hard is it to acquire such a fungus?

Has anyone here ever been 'busted' for possession?

I'm really becoming interested in 'expanding my mind' after reading all of these great reviews...

it depends on who you know, I'd suggest you ask your trusted friends. shrooms can land you in some serious trouble.

The fact that you had to stay and actually think on whether to take them or not means you shouldn't be doing it. Find something more productive to do man!

go for it - like everbody else said (almost everybody), just make sure you are in favorable surroundings. I've tried them in small doses and just hung out with friends, and I've tried them in large doses and just wandered around the mountains for an entire day halucinating my ass off (seeing indians behind trees - wearing very colorful blankets I might add). I'd start slow - you don't want to see the indians on your first trip...............

growing "shrooms" is legal in some states, but drying them out for consumption is illegal. in other states, spores are legal but growing them is not. it varies by state and country.

to get them you gotta know someone thats got some, where i goto college, we've gotten them a few time butsimply cause someone came across them.

my god.

you are absolutely right on that note.

never again but so....very glad i did.

dude mushrooms are very strange...i have dont them about 15 times and i hate them...but i love them....like i love the whole tripping out part but i hate the fact that its poisen and u only see things because ur immune system is trying to fight it off

i duno if anyone needs advice on mushrooms im the guy who will hook it up

hallucinations are the result of neurotransmitter interactions within the brain, not your immune system fighting the chemical.

i didn't like the trips i've had. but shrooms definately amplify the mood yr already in. so if you're in a bad mood, or suppressed negative emotions w/ anything.. don't do it. i learned that the hard way :T

I tried an 1/8 for my first time and it was at a Phish concert. I wish I would've taken less though. It took about an hour to kick in, maybe because I split up the eigth on 2 burgers over about 15 minutes. I was feeling really cool for a long time then it got really intense and I was sitting down most of the concert just chilling and smoking. Weed helped me a lot because at one point my stomache was aching like a bitch but every hit took the edge off then after a while I relaxed and started seeing some cool shit but a previous poster is right, don't over-hype it too much or you might not be satisfied. Anyways, now that I know what to expect I am gonna try them again just not at an insanely huge concert like Phish.
Some other tips:
know the people around you.
don't expect you will be able to control it because if you take enough you will be fucked for like 6 hours and there is no off switch although that vitamin B tip is good advice if it is true.
be in nature

good luck man and have fun

And definitely do NOT look in the mirror... mirrors mess you up really bad! And stay away from streets....

Methinks you have been exposed to some particularly ignorant propaganda.

Poison? No. Hallucinations from your immune system fighting the mushrooms? Definitely not.

Ok I am also thinking about trying shrooms msyelf and have a few questions for ya guys.

FIrst of all thanks for all the advice given on this thread.

now then, I am probably going to try them with 2 buddies of mine (yes I know and trust them) however none of us have ever done them. Is that ok? Also what is a good amount to buy for 3 people and how much will it cost? (I'm 290 lb's but my friends are 120ish and 150ish)

We were thinking of going camping and doing it. Is this a good idea? On the one hand your around nature which alot of you have been saying is good, but also you have camp fires, possibly animals (but unlikely anything dangerous) and getting lost in the woods.

SOme of you say weed is a good mix with shroom, should we have weed our first time though?

Also any suggestions on places to do it would be appreciated. None of our houses would be a good place due to parents.

Edit: Also some days I am a very depressed person, other days I'm happy as a whistle. Will I be ok if I do them on a day where I'm happy as a whistle?
