Trippy...

/Throws on some "Floyd"

Hahaha, oh man. If you can't see the irony in this one you've never tried shrooms.

that was a bad trip, man

...or did it?

Defiance_		2008-03-31 12:57:13 PM

Oh yeah, and if you off someone immediately dosing on psilocybin mushrooms is probably the world's worst idea, ever.

/I'd like to see video of the trip though

xanadian		2008-03-31 01:22:12 PM

Actually, I think they killed that guy coz he kept on saying, "badger badger badger badger badger badger badger..."

nobozo		2008-03-31 01:23:47 PM

I would battle for Morrells.

/ mmmm... almost in season here

I don't think it was over the mushrooms, but rather the money. Either way, that's a serious bummer. If those guys were into eating mushrooms, I guarantee that they weren't the kind of people to bring along on your trip.

Well, they weren't on them at the time. But I totally hear you. I can't even hit the urinal to pee when I did them. One time in my fraternity house the bathroom wood panelling kept chanting and the sink was making fun of my penis.

I hate that when that happens...

ComicBookGuy		2008-03-31 03:09:19 PM

So, do you think the media/soccer mom types will be screaming: "OMG!!! 'SHROOMS KILL PEOPLE!!" while conveniently ignoring alcohol?

Oh, and breathing grass is really funny.

That's nothing. You haven't lived til you've shot someone while watching "Fantasia".

Legalize this non-dangerous substance?

The worst part is you can easily find on google videos how ridiculously easy they are to grow.

Nobody should die over a fungus.

The knots were like the mouths of Indian spirits trapped in the wood. It was wild.

How is this wierd? Someone got killed over drugs...that is hardly a shocking turn of events when dealing with a profitable black market item.

Considering what I've picked up over at 24 Hour Fitness, I disagree. Someone should die.

I hardly ever got visuals until the last time I did them. The bathroom floor tiles were rolling into the toilet. It was awesome. I think I was in there for a good half hour or so.

I keep hearing about these. I want to go out and pick some, but I'm afraid I'd mis-identify one and eat something poisonous.

vernonFL		2008-03-31 03:54:11 PM

This one time I was on mushrooms and I got into a fight which escalated into murder...

oh, wait, that was just the shower curtain. My bad.

I wouldn't put them in the category of cocaine/heroin markup, but yeah schrooms are pretty damn profitable.

NeoKast		2008-03-31 03:54:37 PM

Do any of you have a link to this flash movie about tripping where this fly flies into a shrink's office and a guy is on the couch saying "I'm not crazy doc" and then it goes into this trippy song and bizarre visuals? I haven't seen it in years and don't even know what it's called to find it, but I saw it briefly on some TV show that was showing obscure internet stuff and remembered it.

I concur. My college roommate paid for college selling boomers.

It's fun to lay out in the yard and watch the world melt around you.

Guessing this is not the place to list locations along highways and roads where they grow naturally?

/don't have the list.

Try driving a conversion van through some narrow streets while tripping. That van seemed like was as big as the titanic. I didn't have to go very far, thank God.

SnakeLee		2008-03-31 04:00:56 PM

Nobody who did this was tripping. They are only "dangerous" because of the black market created by making them illegal, which in turns brings clowns like this into the picture, who in turn make things dangerous. If they were legal than there would be no problem. They really aren't all that bad for you (except every once in awhile somebody thinks they can fly when they are on top of a 20 story building, but that's neither here nor there)

And they aren't easy to grow. You get one little spec of something in there and it corrupts the whole batch.

Nos_Felix		2008-03-31 04:01:50 PM

My trip was something very similar to what was portrayed in Knocked Up. Except I tried to eat my iPod. instead I just sort of nibbled. It's fun to sit on the lawn though, so peaceful.

Cowboy hat and pretend six-shooters. Had a midnight standoff in the street with my roommate while it was 15 degrees and snowing in upstate NY. Everything is more fun with mushies.

Ug. Damn good friend from high school died doing this. Still pist off at him. Will kick him in the ass when I see him in the next life.
