re: What are your thoughts about psilocybin mushrooms ?

Never messed with shrooms or LSD, but I have smoked Salvia. I know the experience can be wildly different for some people. It was around 11-12 years ago for me. It was crazy how fast it hit me. The moment I exhaled I was transported to another world instantly. Traveling through a subway tunnel made of waving human arms while dodging glowing neon Nerf footballs. Then shortly after searching under the couch cushion next to me for a friend of mine. Lasted maybe 10 minutes. It was fun, I apparently could not stop laughing. I never left the spot I was sitting. But, that shite was wild.

After I came down another guy with us took a hit. He was on the floor crawling on his hands and knees trying to scoop up an imaginary guitar and make a run for the door so he could sell it to someone who knew "how to play it in another language". Dude had to be stopped from running out the front door.

Good times.

Tried them with some friends in college, I got nothing, one friend played guitar and stared at ceiling fan, other friend called his mom and told her he was dying.

you don't have to dose a 10 strip.

a square or two of the blotter is superior to mushroom puking.

Agree to disagree.

It's also incredibly hard to know the dosage on a piece of blotter. Could be 25 mics, could be 175. If you don't know the chemist, you're rolling the dice. All you can do is test for NBOME.

I’ve tripped plenty enough to know I didn’t get ripped off. I’m sure you’re the cool person at parties.

Did'em once in college .... buttons.

Vowed to never do them again.

I mean it wasn't like dropping acid or doing mescaline (peyote and also organic) but it was .... trippy. I saw thunderclouds on the ceiling and thought about shite that was weird. Everything was really clear, but next day I found out I did some stuff I didn't remember doing and that bothered me.

And it wasn't like being drunk. You throw up first then you trip. Drunk is drunk.

But the other thing was that I was doing it with this older chick, a nurse, who talked me into it in the first place and she and I did some stuff that was .... a little uninhibited.

Frickin' early 70s ... way wilder times than the 60s.

think they are potentially dangerous. Had a friend drink the tea and 30 minutes later it took three of us to hold him back from running into the road. He was convinced that he could stop a car with his mind.

So you have no proof that he couldn’t

A couple of good articles, thanks to TPA...PAGING TPA!!

I think shrooms should be legal. One can find a lot to learn within the psyche.

Doesn't seem to help drunk injuns

However, in the 90's LSD was tried as a treatment for crack addiction in So Florida with some success
