Laudate_Dominum Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I guess it depends on the species of mushroom and whether or not you take an appropriate dose. Alcohol is similar in this regard - actually worse since an alcohol overdose can be extremely serious, not just psychologically unpleasant.

Laudate_Dominum Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I'm just glad we don't live in a country where alcohol is completely illegal. Beer and wine are fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcePrincessKRS Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I just mean that I see the appeal of things like an ayahuasca experience. I'm also inclined to think that tripping on psychedelic mushrooms is about as wicked as mild alcohol intoxication. 'Shrooms is a little bit of a dice roll. I've known several people that have said they've taken some. One friend told me he lost all sensation but not consciousness. Hardly sounds like mild intoxication. Granted its anecdotal, but it's been enough to scare me away. I personally am very uncomfortable with the idea of drugs period though. I really really hate not being in full control of myself. I guess it depends on the species of mushroom and whether or not you take an appropriate dose. Alcohol is similar in this regard - actually worse since an alcohol overdose can be extremely serious, not just psychologically unpleasant. I just read a news article about a man in OH who did mushrooms and was tripping so bad he tore off parts of his man-bits. I'd be more inclined to side with Ampaxx and just avoid them altogether. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudate_Dominum Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I just read a news article about a man in OH who did mushrooms and was tripping so bad he tore off parts of his man-bits. I'd be more inclined to side with Ampaxx and just avoid them altogether. :| That's not normal. I wouldn't be surprised if the shrooms were laced with PCP, or something. One outrageous story doesn't mean much anyway. We all have experiences with responsible alcohol use so one outrageous story involving alcohol will not lead you to condemn drinking. To me it's the same kind of thing here. Well, not that I have experience with magic mushrooms, I've just seen statistics about their use that leads me to believe it's a benign drug compared to alcohol. ETA: But yes, I agree that it's generally best to avoid unfamiliar psychoactive substances. I think shrooms are illegal in our society as well. It would be neat if magic mushrooms were a normal part of our culture, like alcohol. I guess that's all I'm trying to say. lol.

IcePrincessKRS Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Yeah, I didn't assume it was normal. But you never know what could be in that stuff. Better to just steer clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
