Shrooooms

I have heard that shrooms trick your body into thinking that your dying and that is why you trip. Is this true?

Who Told You That?!?

I think I read it somewhere but im not really sure

just do them. what you hear is garbage unless you took way too much for your body then i suppose you would trip insanely hard and anything is possible. first time only try an eighth

Psilocybin is rapidly dephosphorylated in the body to psilocin which acts as a 5HT2A, 5HT2C and 5HT1A agonist. Psilocin is structurally similar to serotonin (5-HT)[5], differing only by the hydroxyl group being on the 4-position rather than the 5 and the dimethyl groups on the nitrogen. Its effects are thought to come from its ability to mimic serotonin at 5-HT2A serotonin receptors in the brain.

One time a friend of mine ate too many shrooms; somewhere around 5-6 grams when it should have been 2-3. He thought he was dying. It was fuckin' scary to watch him wig out on shrooms.

Just don't eat too many and you won't think you're dying.

Trick your body into dying sounds like either bullshit or an over-simplification/exaggeration of what is really happening.

people with weak minds freak out on psychedelics. you must find peace with yourself. which is sure hard to do in todays world, but you need to be in a calm state of mind and worry free. its also a good idea to have a sober friend. especially ones that wont fuck with you.

Yah, Make Sure You Trust Them. Sober Sitters Can Have Complete Control Over Which Way Your Trip Goes. Dont Let One Fuck With You.

Not sure, but they make me puke. And I sort of feel like I'm dying.

Maybe you got bad shrooms? Fly agarics maybe?

Also maybe way too large of a dose? Cant handle it mentally some people are very in-tolerant to it, sort of like caffeine. I know someone who can just have a teaspoon of coffee and is sick.

Unlucky man but everyones different aye!

I really like LSD. Shrooms just make me feel sick(extremely queasy) and really warm(extremely overheated). Don't like it at all.

My friends whom ate from the same batch were just fine. Probably just me.

Shrooms Are Great. Not For Everyone But Pretty Good Shit.

Love It.

Teatree, i know what you are talking about... shitty old shrooms...
Been there... also with the fear thing...alot stems from not growing your own.

When I get high I often have trust issues, I can see it getting worse for some people.
When you grow your own, you know its good, and you know there is no poison, in fact you would need to eat a shitload to get anywhere close to mortal danger.

I ate from the same batch as 3 of my friends.... they were all fine. I don't think they were shitty or old, the guy I got them from does them quite often and grows his own.

It was just me. I do not like shrooms(only done them twice, vomited, with lasting dry heaves both times, the worst experiences I've ever had). I also did not hallucinate whatsoever(just made me feel sick, period). Unlike LSD, which makes me trip balls, and I love it. No sickness whatsoever.

I had no fear(I do not fear death). Just made me terribly sick, the toilet was my friend for hours. Dry heaving and vomiting up bile.... Never again. My body just doesn't like shrooms. And the effects were pathetic. Not worth it whatsoever.

lol @ not fearing death

Anywho, this sounds like a story that I heard from an old hippie. He was telling me that back the mid 60's he remembers shrooms on the west coast that were known to make people sick in a similar way to what you described. He told me that the prevalent thought then among his peers (other pro dealers and activists) was that there was a chemical in these shrooms (he may have mumbled strychnine) that was visible as a small green/blue ring where the stem met the cap. He further claimed that cutting vividly colored portions (non-bruised) from the shroom stopped the sickness.

That is a story, from a dude that I know has done a lot of drugs. There is misinformation, but I think its odd how your description of sickness matches his description of sickness.

The only thing we can say for sure is that there were people like you gettin' sick from shrooms even back then. Maybe your gut just doesn't like/digests differently whatever is in shrooms.

Well I Thought It'd Be Obvious The Reason You Didn't Get The Desired Effect Is You Threw The Shrooms Up.

Mrbaker, yes, everyone is unique. There are far more genetic possibilities for humans than there are stars in the cosmos.

Again, there was nothing wrong with the shrooms. Several others "loved them", I was the only one who got sick. There was no vivid coloration on any I ate, either time. Unless from two different batches I magically got the only tainted caps...(maybe I ate too many). I'll stick to LSD, which has never given me a bad trip.
