I was on shrooms just the other night. Wish I knew about this thread. Anyway, yeah, if you're not stupid about it and mixing them with all kinds of other things you shouldn't be doing then shrooms can be a great experience. The worst part about them is getting over the taste.

Aha, shrooms facilitates more conversation than bud (assuming you don't take heeeaps), and it's higher brow. When you're on shrooms (from my own experience, something you lack ), you don't become stupid like you do on bud. Sure, the severity of this temporary loss of intelligence varies on the type of weed, but chances are conversation will be considerably dumbed down. Shrooms changes your thinking patterns, but it does not impede your ability to express yourself.

It sounds like your cousin just took a huge dose, or perhaps he's normally a bit of a nutter? As for shrooms being risky...uh, what? Providing you get shrooms off someone you trust, they're probably just as safe as weed.

And what "other things" does bud facilitate? I mean shit, half the time it doesn't even facilitate conversation, people just completely zone out, especially with hydro. Seriously, you should not be giving advice about something you haven't tried for yourself. It's pretty clear that a. you haven't done them, and b. you haven't read about them in depth.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not campaigning against weed, just your ignorant comparison between it and 'shrooms.

lol!

Stoner elitism...

Not everyone becomes stupid after smoking bud just because you do. I've done both marijuana and shrooms and I wouldn't say one substance facilitated higher brow conversation (although I've definitely had better, more thoughtful conversations after smoking some bud). It really all depends on the moods before taking the substance and the setting. Specifically who your company is.

thats some nice old thread bumpage to be shure!

I recently did shrooms for the first time, and I thought it was great. I didn't take too much, and don't remember seeing anything, but I felt so happy, forgiving, and comfortable. I wish there was a way to recreate that feeling without taking an illegal substance.
The closest thing I've ever had to a bad comedown was when I realized that the shrooms were going to wear off soon. I did everything I could to keep the feeling going, but to no avail. I smoked some bud and did some coke, and it was all better though.

GAF has lots of groovy people.

My advice: Don't do it. If your life sucks so bad that you want to trip to get out of it, go see a doctor and get antidepressants instead. Jesus.

Shit, dude, shrooms can help you save the world. Take as many as possible (beware the purple ones)

Ha ha.

What if you're life doesn't suck bad and you want to anyway? What then? Do I still need to get a doctor to prescribe me something because I can't control my moods?

I've found mushrooms to be intensely stupifying, not that you can't hold a conversation, but everyone when they are on them feels smart and intense and insightful, but really, you are only talking about how your hands look funny or insects are really cool if you think about it. Shit like that.

threads like this are fairly interesting. it doesn't do anything to make me ever want to take part in the talked about situations, but it's still interesting.

I'm an anti-psychiatrist. Taking antidepressants is tantamount to recreational drugs to me, anyhow. If you're going to go into the chemical depths, you may as well go for the good stuff. And why do you think only people with sucky lives enjoy tripping? Not all drug use is escapism, duder. I'd argue that the majority of habitual psychonauts are decently content (happy?) with their lives. . .if they were on the edge or completely unhappy with their lives, that heaviness would make any tripping completely unenjoyable, or even downright bad.

People with bad lives will go to the drugs that make them feel better and happy. Feeling better and happy is not a given when messing with psychadelics.

Hell yes.

"sucky life" = bad frame of mind
bad frame of mind = horrible, horrible horrible time on the mushrooms/acid.
