Magic mushrooms are the most amazing drug there is. They are inexpensive, non-addictive, all natural, and have none of the horrible lasting effects of the similar- yet more powerful chemical drug, LSD. But as amazing as they can be, you must have respect for the drug and follow the rules. After reading through much of this website, I have found that not all the rules are listed plainly enough for all experimenting and confused viewers to read. So, listed chronologically, from the period of time before you take the mushrooms-to those last 30 minutes to an hour of laying down after coming down and trying to get to sleep; here are THE RULES
RULES ON TAKING SHROOMS:
1.BECAUSE THE SLIGHTEST NEGATIVE OCCOURANCE CAN RUIN A GOOD TRIP, PLAN OUT YOUR DAY BEFORE INGESTING SHROOMS. IF YOU HAVE TO TRIP IN A HOUSE, BE ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE THAT THERE WILL BE NO PARENTAL CONTACT. FREE YOUR DAY FROM ANY RESPONSIBILITIES, AS EVEN SOMETHING AS HARMLESS AS HAVING TO FEED YOUR DOG, IF DWELLED UPON, CAN HAVE NEGATIVE EFFECTS. Personally, I much prefer shroomin' in a natural setting... my best trips have been on camping trips with my friends- it gives you a chance to really be "one with nature"
2.One of the questions I've read here was whether or not shrooms can kill you.This question relates to my second and possibly most important rule...NEVER DRINK BEFORE OR DURING THE INGESTION OF MUSHROOMS. ALTHOUGH IT IS TRUE THAT ALCOHOL MAGNIFIES THE EFFECT, THERE IS NO CERTAIN AMOUNT TO TAKE, AND IN MANY CASES THIS ABUSE OF MUSHROOMS HAS LEAD TO DEATH.I personally know of three cases: Two college students, non-related, have died of heart failure(they were people that a couple of my friends knew). And one person, that was my very good friend, was hospitalized after trying this and was legally dead for 12 seconds (heart stopped). Fortunately, he was extremely lucky to live to tell the story. If you want to magnify the effect and are comfortable with the drug, then i suggest drinking a few swigs of robitussin, and taking 4-8 pills of vitamin C-(prolongs the effect). Oh, and I've found that theres nothing wrong with drinking after you begin to come down... but drink in moderation.
3.Every time I have taken shrooms, I have gone through what I call the "first phase". This is the sickly, drowsy, butterflies in the stomach, punch in the gut kinda feeling that I'm sure everyone gets shortly after taking mushrooms. My guess is that this is just the process of your stomach breaking down and adapting to the poisons you have just consumed. Many first time users confuse this occourance with a bad trip, and in turn dwell on that negative thought and turn it into a bad trip. BUT THE FIRST PHASE OF DISCOMFORT IS COMPLETELY NORMAL AND HARMLESS. If it begins to worry you, just stay calm, look around, and take deep breaths... It usually passes after 5-10 minutes.
4.SHROOMERS DONT MIX WELL WITH DRUNKS. AVOID HAGIN' OUT WITH YOUR DRUNK FRIEND OR GOING TO A PARTY WHEN YOU'RE SHROOMIN. I HAVE SEEN THIS MIXTURE OF PEOPLE, SURROUNDINGS, AND NOISES RUIN MANY GOOD TRIPS... AND OUT OF MY MORE THAN 30 TIMES OF TAKING MUSHROOMS, THIS WAS WHAT LED TO MY ONE AND ONLY BAD TRIP. All the bad noise, constant mindless blabbering, inability to control speech volumes, and sometimes violent tendencies that comes with drinking booze can cause the simple, vulnerable, and fragile mind of a shroomer to lose control and plunge into a make-shift state of absolute hell.
5.IF THIS DOES EVER HAPPEN TO ONE OF YOU, DO NOT RUN! Once you snap you are almnost in an animal state of mind, you may feel the need to flee, but instead of answering this primal urge, the best thing to do is to JUST LAY DOWN. People will notice and try to help, and more importantly, you wont end up breaking into anyones house or yard, getting arrested or hospitalized.
6.IF ARRESTED OR HOSPITALIZED, PLEAD INSANITY. In almost any case, you cannot be convicted for something you didnt do. And if you dont remember participatingin the events that led to your hospitalization, then you didnt do it. The best thing to do is be honest- tell the doctor you took shrooms and nothing else, and that you dont remember a thing... and for those of you that "cannot tell a lie" that would be a good time to start. Then all ya gotta do is take a piss test and you're outta there.
7.Bad trips are caused by dwelling on negative thoughts. Shrooms magnify the hell out of what you're feeling- Thats one of the reasons why i love them so much; I've learned to control how I feel on shrooms. Thats why good trips are so good, and bad trips are f**king horrible. And after taking shrooms many times with many different people, I have learned through my prospective experience a few of the basic reasons why people have bad trips. So, WHEN TAKING SHROOMS, a)DONT DWELL ON NEGATIVE THOUGHTS; b)DONT EVER WANT THE TRIP TO STOP,EVEN IF ITS BAD; c)DONT WORRY ABOUT A THING, CUZ EVERY LITTLE THING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT; d)ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES.
8.IF YOU COME INTO CONTACT WITH AN AUTHORITY FIGURE OR CONCERNED OUTSIDER, STAY CALM. TRY TO TALK AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE AND DONT TRY TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF. SHROOMERS CAN RELATE TO EACHOTHER AND MOST THE TIME UNDERSTAND EACHOTHER, BUT TO A STRAIGHT-EDGED, IGNORANT, AND CONFUSED PASSER-BY... YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN A POSSIBLY DANGEROUS INSANE BABBLING LUNATIC. If you have ever tried to talk to a shroomer when you were sober, you know what im talking about.
9.IF YOU ARE NORMALLY PARANOID WHEN SMOKING POT, I DO NOT RECOMMEND SMOKING BEFORE SHROOMING. BUT IF MARIJUANA NORMALLY CALMS YOU DOWN, THEN BY ALL MEANS TOKE UP. GANJA WONT ENHANCE THE TRIP, BUT IT CAN HELP WITH YOUR SHROOMER MENTALITY. AND IF YOU'VE EVER HEARD THAT SMOKING SHROOMS WORKS AND FEEL LIKE TRYING IT- DONT BOTHER...YOU'LL JUST WASTE YOUR SHROOMS AND GET A MOUTHFULL OF NASTY
10.AND FINALLY, DEPENDING ON YOUR METABOLISM, TAKE YOUR SHROOMS IN MODERATION AND BE CAREFUL. IF YOU TRUST YOUR SHROOM CONNEC. AND NORMALLY GET QUALITY SHROOMS, YOU'LL NEVER NEED MORE THAN 1.525-3.5 GRAMS(A HALF-EIGHTH TO AN EIGHTH) IFTHEY ARE LOW-GRADE SHROOMS, ITS SAFE TO TAKE A FULL EIGHTH, WAIT AND HOUR, THEN CONTINUE TO CHOMP BASED ON HOW MUCH THEY ARE AFFECTING YOU. NEVER EVER EVER TAKE MORE THAN 6 GRAMS, LOW-GRADE OR NOT. My friend kim has a friend in Eastlake that on one occasion took way too many shrooms. Sadly, the poisons collected in her brain and destroyed it. She lived through that crisis four years ago, but is still severely mentally retarded to this day. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE RESPECT FOR THE DRUG, IT WILL COME BACK TO BITE YOU IN THE ASS!!!
AND ANOTHER THING, IT IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO TAKE SHROOMS, THEN TAKE THEM AGAIN WITHIN A THREE DAY PERIOD.
I MYSELF LIKE TO SHROOM ONCE A WEEK FOR TWO WEEKS, THEN TAKE A DESCENT BREAK. I DO NOT RECOMMEND CONTINUOUS WEEKLY USE FOR MORE THAN THREE WEEKS STRAIGHT.
NOW THAT I AM DONE WITH THE RULES, HERE ARE SOME OF MY RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO PREPARE AND EAT SHROOMS:
-TRY SHROOM CHILI...JUST MIX EM IN...GREAT FOR CAMPING
-MUSHROOM TEA IS A GOOD WAY TO PREPARE SHROOMS...BUT
YOU HAVE TO PREPARE IT THE RIGHT WAY:
1.BOIL WATER
2.DROP DESIRED AMOUNT IN, LET BOIL FOR 30 SECS,
THEN STIR FOR ANOTHER 30 SECS AND POUR INTO
CUP- IF YOU LET THEM SIT OR BOIL FOR TOO LONG
PSILOCYBIN BOILS OFF AND IS LESS EFFECTIVE.
3.YOU CAN USE TEA BAGS, OR, TRY MIXING WITH RED
GATORADE-ITS PRETTY GOOD.
-WHEN EATING MUSHROOMS, I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS GOOD TO CHASE THEM WITH ORANGE JUICE AND/OR CHOCOLATE-YUM!
