Anyone done Magic Mushrooms here?

[BBassic]

I did some at Playgroup last year. Just ended up laying on the grass with my girlfriend watching the sky vibrate. Beautiful day.

 

[Max Paper]

Done them a few times in my youth. The worst was at a mates flat in Brighton. They jumped up and marched along the newspaper they were sitting on. It got worse, for some bizarre reason I though I was ok and decided to drive home. I ran out of petrol at the bottom of west street at 10pm on a Friday night! I remember calmly asking two girls for 10 quid and them locking themselves in a phone box screaming. I was spinning my nut off, I ended up having to call my dad and confess, he found me sat in the car behind the passenger seat on the floor. Not done them since

 

[Mr Banana]

Took me about 5 years to stop having flashbacks.

Definitely not recommended.

Hard lines mister. On shrooms I've pissed myself in public, locked myself in a library and written a five-page essay on how we're all connected and had the shortest ever attempt at playing pool in Rileys (we realised it wasn't a great idea being within close proximity of each other while brandishing pool cues). Think the worst was thinking I'd got lost inside my mate's monitor and had become a character in Worms after a few truffles...

i would be very careful with any form of hallucinogen . some people can handle it some cant . im in the cant camp but still for about 5 or 6 years in my early 20's (41 now) i was smoking the strongest skunk taking lots of acid mushrooms occasionally . it came to a halt when i did 2 black microdots on each eyeball on my 25th birthday . i was full on seeing the weirdest shit for about 48 hours . peoples faces melting on to the floor , flowers with faces on them in the garden talking to me. then the final nail in the coffin was ..... you know when youre thinking you often hear your own voice in your head saying 'right i must go to the shops today' etc. well you control that voice . i got to the point where my own voice in my head was talking to me telling me what a wanker i was and that maybe i should kill myself cos im not worth anything etc etc. this was not very nice obviously and it took me a good few years to get over it . as someone said on this thread it can take a long time to get over it so id be very careful indeed . some people have one halucinogenic experience and spend the rest of their life in the nuthouse. even now i cant even have one puff on a spliff as it makes me completely paranoid.

Like Mr B, I attempted to play Pool after consuming the naughty wee Fungi. The Cues were hissing Snakes; the Cue Ball donned a Satanic face; & the rest of the balls donned mushes ranging from mild confusion through to sheer terror. We got thrown out of the Pub after failing to strike any balls with our aforementioned reptilian sticks, but at least we giggled constantly for the duration of the 'game'. I can't say my Pool abilities are much better when I wasn't off my nut though to be fair...

I ended up playing poker with Lord Voldemort when i did them once, would not recommend it (he cheats)

For the last three weeks I've been asking other people to tie my shoelaces (poorly spine), and it's only partly down to booze. Mr Rowley Birkin (Dead Now) could have a similar problem with slippery/hard-to-judge-in-terms-of-perspective shoes. Us bad back people (and chronic alcoholics) need more respect.

I mean, so what if I've shit myself and asked you for a quid? Mind you own business!

I've only been drunk once, trouble is it's lasted for 15 years. And like you I have the added problem of a bad back, so putting my shoes on is like an episode of the Krypton Factor.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Yes once, in the form of Magic Mushroom wine and that is all I am prepared to say !!!!!!

 

[Danny-Boy]

And for me the only mushrooms required are safe edible types you get at the supermarket-now those types i do like with a touch of salt and pepper and a sprinkling of chilli Garlic powder.

Aaaah a nice omelette would do me.

Morrisons now sell cheap mushrooms in bulk for about £1.49, better than 8Ace. But you have to eat them quickly before they go off in the fridge.

May years ago I was stuck in a "B and B" (won't say where though, it might lead to comments!) and on the top story was a kitchen for the "inmates".

One day I walked in and in a saucepan bubbling away were some MMs. Their owner stood alongside, telling me in a strange voice where he had found them etc. Never been tempted since...

 

[Return of the Rev]

Was gonna have some for brekkie today,the little tinkers have vanished

 

[Paris]

I've done them a couple of times. Once in London on a night out. Was in fits of laughter the whole night. Felt wonderful. The second time was in Amsterdam with a mate. Went to a club thinking i'd experience similar amusement. It was not to be. Total paranoia.

In other words, make sure you choose the right ones.

 

[Bakero]

Yes, and I've had some fantastic times. The worst experience I've had is being very confused. Remember once being in a bar watching the England game and being completely unable to follow it. The concept of money also becomes challenging; you're aware that if you give these bits of paper or metal spheres to someone then they'll give you something in return but other than that it's a mystery.

I've witnessed the dark side of hallucinogens too though. I once took shrooms with a mate who's in his late thirties and he'd taken acid/shrooms many times before but this time he lost it. he had a bad trip and it took him a while to get over it. Also know people who've been sectioned after developing an acid habit.

 

[JCL666]

I've had some great times with hallucinogens over the years.

The last time with mushrooms was in Amsterdam. I was convinced I'd written an entire novel on my phone while taking a dump.

 

[brakespear]

Did mushrooms once, but only a few and just became very suggestive as to what I was seeing. Worse was an experience on tea made from leaves which I think were datura - trip lasted about ten hours, don't remember much apart from throwing all my money in the bin and making a cup of coffee for my freind who had just turned up and was walking up the garden path (except he was at home). And the teacosy people.

I wouldn't recommend it and have never thought of trying hallucinogens since.

My hand turned into a child's hand in front of my very eyes. It was slightly concerning.

 

[Durlston]

I've done them quite a few times but I'm never been that good at picking them; should have bought a book but that's not 100% reliable. The times that I've eaten Fly Agaric I've felt sick and had some panicky trips. They look nice; like something out of a fairytale but can make you feel ill. Liberty Cap are much nicer, like a floaty feeling, feel chatty and more comfortable to deal with at anytime. I'd always buy them off a mate instead of picking them because the Death Cap fucks up your liver and it's very likely you'll die. The law is strange with 'shrooms. only illegal if they're prepared by cooking and not going hunting into woods for them.

 

[brunswick]

bit too techno-fascist for me, get on the san pedro or ayahuasca for a purer experience.

Yeah i know humans have been taking various organic material for spiritual and pleasurable experiences for thousands and thousands of years. I like the sound of Liberty Cap not to heavy.

You'll have a better experience on them than Fly Agaric, which are too heavy IMO mate. The only time of year to pick is the autumn (September-November) where you can get a bumper crop of them if it's been a wet but quite warm summer.

If you're thinking of experimenting with them it's up to you, Doc Lynam. I'm f***ed after taking too many illicit substances over the years.

 

[Skaville]

Did them quite a few times towards the end of their legality. Had nothing but positive experiences and the best thing - you have a great time and the next day you wake up with a completely clear head.
