    Do it.

    They are awesome, non-addictive and physiologically safe.

    Make sure you’re in a safe, comfortable place, and if you’re doing them with other people, make sure you trust those people, but otherwise have a blast.

    Magic mushrooms are the “drug” I really do think everybody should try.

      It’s not safe for people in maoi inhibitors and a few other drugs. This includes certain antidepressants which are quite common.

        Yup… absolutely do not take them if you have had SSRIs in your system within the past 60 days.

          I took mushrooms, high dose and micro, while on SSRI’s. There’s the smallest, most miniscule chance of seretonin syndrome. But 9999 times out of 10000 you’ll be fine.

        Psilocybin is physiologically safe for people.

        As with water, psilocybin can be dangerous to mix with toxic chemicals.

      I have easy access to them but even so the first time I had mushrooms when I was 12 wasn’t cool and I may have some unexpected trauma from that experience.

        Unwritten rule that I guess we should write: no drugs for children.

        They don’t need their minds expanded, their tiny minds are still sealing themselves together.

          Also, people should start with small doses and work their way up.

          In fact, there’s a lot of research and care people should do beforehand. Mushrooms can be a wonderful experience, but can also be a traumatic one. Learning about them ahead of time goes a long way.

          Yeah. Tell that to Australian tourists.

      Why did you put “drug” in quotes?

        Because everything is a drug and magic mushrooms themselves aren’t the drug in question, psilocybin is.

        Also, calling caffeine, heroin and mushrooms a “drug” belies a problem with labeling.

        Magic mushrooms, incidentally, being the least toxic of those substances.

        What is a “drug” and what isn’t is an arbitrary, made-up distinction. There are only molecules.
