How are Shrooms Harmful?

Q: How are shrooms harmful? I no that they poison you but thats no worse than drinking alcohol. Do shrooms put holes in your brain like some hallucinates do or have any long term negative effects on you?

A: Shrooms aren’t poisonous, at least not the proper family of psilocybe mushrooms that are commonly eaten for their hallucinogenic effects. Amantia mushrooms are sometimes consumed for their hallucinogenic effects [which are very different to psilocybe, and can be a lot worse] and they are poisonous if taken in large doses.They are easier on the body than alcohol and don’t cause any hepatotoxicity or brain damage [although the rumours of drugs causing brain damage are nearly always false].However what they make you see can potentially upset your mind. It is possible to have a so called ‘bad trip’ and you might become extremely anxious, paranoid, fear for your life and worry that the trip will never end.Because scenarios like this are possible, only ever trip when sound of mind and with a sober sitter you know well and are comfortable with. The sitter should also be educated on what to do in an emergency, and how to deal with people on pyschoactive drugs.Shrooms have been used for thousands of years for their visionary experiences and can be very profound and enjoyable experiences. Be careful, and be sensible. For any further queries and experience reports you should check out:http://www.erowid.org/

Q: this coming up weekend, me and my friend are planning on doing shrooms, and it my first time. Are they as bad as Excasty or Acid? And is it true that you see things that arent really there?

A: They can be. It’s possible that you can freak out bad enough to develop a panic disorder. Ecstasy is more harmful. It actually has a chance to kill you and LSD can give you flashbacks. It’s factual that you have hallucinations if you take enough. The colorful figures morph and shift around.

Q: can you die from taking them?or get really sick?not for personal knowledge…just a school drug report so dont yell at me

A: All hallucinogenic shrooms are poisonous, that is why they work. It is the destruction of brain cells that causes the “trip”. They have caused many deaths, including a school-mate of my son’s. Turns out that the supplier had mixed a couple of kinds of mushrooms and even experts get fooled when collecting them.Mushroom poisoning is not pretty. You spew from both ends while suffering massive cramping. One fellow I knew who survived it said he didn’t know you could suffer as much as he had. He lost over 30 pounds in less than 24 hours as his body tried to rid itself of the poison.People who supply shroom spawn are not all that careful in keeping the strains pure, and are very likely to have a super baddy mixed in with the fungus with milder toxins.Anybody who supplies shrooms to their “friends” is no friend at all, but may help clear out the shallow end of the intelligence pool.
