My only experience of mushrooms was being able to pick 10 - 20 at work each year (I work on a golf course and around September/October they grow in places)
These I would take in tea, they would give me a decent buzz, i'd get "the giggles" etc
However, at a music festival two months ago I bought 5 packets of mushrooms, bigger and better ones that I had taken, half a packet was "one trip"
So, me being the experimental type, took two and a half packets with my girlfriend taking the other two and a half, in bowls of soup.
After around half an hour we lay on the sofa watching TV, I remember sensing a change in colour in the room, everything glowed with a kind of yellowness, patterns flowed past my eyes and the room felt like a differet place.
Things started getting heavy when I stood up, I felt like a different person and reality started slipping away at an alarming rate.
We evetually were starting to loose our sight, we could see things - things that were not real, but anything real was no longer visable, we werent enjoying this and had made our way through to her bedroom, we lay there pretty terrified and wanting it to end.
After a few hours, as with most real drugs, we entered a stage of confusion, almost vegitation, I didn't know who I was for a while, this seems bad but I eventually found myself asking what species I was!
The next 'stage' was live a trip down a river, on the bed which had become a boat, we felt happy and chatted (gibberish) often ending up in hysterics of laughter over nothing.
After 5-6 hours we could see 'real things' again, these were accompanied by some very realistic hilucinations however, such as ants on the bed, water running down the walls, tears in the wallpaper, blood on my hands etc
It took a few more hours to get to sleep,we agreed we'd 'overdone it' but it was certainly interesting, I look forward to the next time

I taken them before. Mostly the strong foreign types.
Always worked good on me, like a pot high*100. I have never laughed so much before or after. On top of that most things become extremely interesting. The best thing is to take a long walk, preferably downtown (Copenhagen for me) or in some woods if you fancy that (I do on occassions)
But from what I heard one should be carefull with them, it really depends on the person I think. Personally I think they are fun, but people with a weak pshyche should watch out as with any other stimulans

An idiot can ask so many questions it will take years to reply. So if I don't reply to your posts it's probably why
Where are you from that they sell packets of mushrooms? Where I come from it is done strictly by weight.
You should look into DMT, chemically known as N,N-dimethyltryptamine. The parent compounds of the substance are found in humans, but there is no evidence that it is produced in vivo. This is a highly powerful, and fast acting hallucinogenic drug. It's probably the hardest and shortest trip you'll ever take. Some implicate the drug as a causal agent for what people describe as spiritual encounters, schizophrenia, and near death experiences. It has been dubbed the spiritual molecule. If you are truly interested in psychedelic drugs, I suggest reading the Rick Strassman M.D.'s book, "D.M.T.: The Spiritual Molecule". Strassman was commissioned to conduct human experimentation of the drug for the University of New Mexico's Medical School. This drug will forever change your perspective and outlook on life.
If you want to do further reading, I suggest Aldous Huxley's, "Doors of Perception", which inspired the name for the popular late 60's band known as The Doors. This is a first hand account of Huxley's experience with Mescaline, when he volunteered to undergo human experimentation for one of his classmates who was studying the psychological effects of the drug. Another great read.
Disclaimer: I caution anyone about the use of psychedelic drugs. They can be dangerous and are not meant for the faint-hearted person. In addition, all of these drugs are schedule I controlled substances, which means they are highly illegal in the United States. You are looking at felony charges if you get caught.
SCHEDULE I.
A The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
B The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
C There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.
They grow freely on the island I live on - which is sometimes not a good thing - free drugs can be over-used. I usually behave myself tho.
Ive done them a few times. The first time - some mates had a made a brew of 'mushroom tea' after a glass of that and a bit of time it started kicking in. My stomach felt like when u go real high on a swing and I had the Grins (like when ure stonned) finding many things amusing.
Someone decided it was a good idea for us all to go for a walk. I was riding a bike and soon we were going across a beach, it felt like the water was pulling me in. It was rather hard riding on the sand - it looked like theres was some kind of gel like liquid attached to the bike at the bottom (the thing pulling me towards the water).
Next we climbed this massive tree (named the 'stonner tree' by school students) - that was really ammazing. I thought I was seeing peoples skin colour changed (into fluerecent colours) turned out it was just the street lamps doing it.
I've done them a few times now - of the worst experiences I had was walking into a dairy during a trip - again like being stonned I had a bad case of the munchies. I went for a cream douhnut and started eating it immediatly, the shope people asked if I was alright... My friend paid for it and brought himself something and we left. the fact that I had a cheesy grin and was laughing didn't help at all.
Generally I don't get wasted that often. I usually don't drink and occasionally get stonned. Earlier tis year I took acid and I once had Special K at a party. I don't wanna become real hooked on anything so I try not to do stuff very often.
laughing at nothing is so great
ps. watching comedy movies while stonned is a great idea

Most hallucinogens are not addictive. Even if you did them a lot, you would never really develop a habit. Don't do them in excess, because they will alter your personality and your appearance. You will feel like shit from the inside out. Eventually, you will start to resemble a giant fungus.
You should watch a movie called Evil Dead II. Excellent flick for that kind of thing.
I've been meaning to try them. I heard from friends you can smoke them. Apparently you get a better high, but if the smoke touches your eyes it blinds you. Does anyone know if that is true or not?
Im pretty sure thats isnt true. i have heard of people smoking them with weed. dunno what type tho.
just eat them - its easier. u can eat them with food (some mates of mine made a mushroom pasta once) works fine

Whatever you do don't smoke them. It will kill you. Just kidding. It's not very pleasant, I am sure. However, it will not blind you.
Well if your in the UK you'll have to pick your own sometime soon. The government is fed up of the loophole that lets people sell them un-treated and un-packaged on stalls, and is set to ban it before the year is out
Metal up your ass
I've tried them a few times, but they didn't do anything to me. I guess I must have a natural high tolerance for them or something.

Many people I know have said this to me about various drugs and alcohol, usually it's because they are not taking enough, or not taking them properly

Unlike Max Born I wouldn't suggest anyone using DMT, unless you like to play russian roulette with your brain.

My favorite mushroom experience was about 2 months ago. Me and my wife ate about two grams each of hawaiin grown amazonian strains. It took 15 minutes to hit (much much shorter than the normal 45 minute wait). The floors were a stream of color, the roof seemed inches from my face and was glowing and glittering with intense and colorful light. We laughed for hours, tried to figure out what the hell they were saying in the music we had playing (afterwards we listened and it was really obvious shit). It was great, but my wife had a bad trip towards the end when she started ranting about how we don't exist and then just completly got stuck in a hole for about 2 hours. I've had alot of experience with hallucinogenic drugs, and they aren't for everyone. Use caution and always have a sober or very experienced person nearby - just in case.
Thanks everyone for clarifying that. I didn't think they blinded you. My friends told me to wear goggles if I did it. I think they jsut wanted me to look like an idiot
Yeah this happened to me after I had questioned my species, after failing to come to a conclusion I then questioned my existance. I think because you have no real senses left, you cannot see anything real, you have little or no memory, then it is the easiest conclusion to draw.
I also had a stage where I lay near an open window, it was obviously getting cold and I felt the discomfort but I couldn't figure out if I was perhaps too hot or too cold.

Tried 'em once...took about 2 grams. I didn't trip at all before I started throwing up. I spent the entire night throwing up green goo-type stuff and hallucinating that there were people in the room (at one point I thought two people came in, turned on the lights, had a conversation, and then said "goodnight" to one another). I was cold and didn't sleep at all. Every half hour or so I would have to get up and shit but the shit was just the same stuff that I was vomiting. By the next morning I was feeling a bit better. I couldn't eat but had been making sure to drink lots of liquids. I got a bottle of water at a gas station (me and my brother had been in this town visiting his friends from college and we were leaving) but threw that up within a half-hour. I kept drinking water and vomiting it back up all day. When I finally got home I ran to the bathroom, got on the toilet, shit and vomited into the bathtumb at the same time--evacuating the only meal I had eaten that day--and then rolled onto my side. There was blood in the toilet and the bathtub. I was really ill and I actually should have gone to the emergency room! I later found out that everyone who had "tripped" with me got ill except for my brother!
Oh well, better luck next time!

You either ate poisonous mushrooms or you just ate your shrooms with too much food in your stomach. They are best taken on an empty stomach. Expect stomach discomfort and naseau for the first hour or more, but usually less. In my experience no one has ever thrown up on an empty stomach when they had real shrooms.
All "magic" shrooms are poisonous...that's what makes you trip!
These were just bad shrooms all around though...nobody tripped much and everyone but one got really ill.
