DO NOT...I repeat DO NOT smoke mushrooms or mushroom extract. Trust me.

That aside, peanut butter was always my mushroom taste concealer of choice.

SnakeLee: ...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)


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.




Someone should have told him to take off from the ground..

watox: LeeOfTampa: watox EAT IT

Why is this better than the old fashioned chomping on the caps method?

/just asking - interested


It's stronger,cleaner, and more constant. Trip doesn't come in 'waves' its just like...and with lsd or straight caps (that taste awfull) it used to take anywhere from 1 to 3 days for my head to get screwed back on right...not with the tootsie roll stuff. i've found...when you are done you are done...and you can go right to sleep or whatever....

watox: buffalkill: Who still eats mushrooms? People who haven't experienced DMT, that's who.

Please enlighten me...


It's like psychedelic whippets. The most intense and bizarre trip you will ever experience. So completely immersive that you can't move and you think its real.

Five minutes later you're fine.

LeeOfTampa: A small suggestion...the best thing to do with mushrooms:

Get Mushrooms.
Get Liquid Methenol.

You will need a filter, a glass plate (like the kind you make lassagna in), something to finely chop the mushrooms (coffee grinders are best)...and something to dry out the mushrooms (food dehydrator is best).

Dry the mushrooms. Chop them up. Scoop the mushroom powder into the filter (don't touch it). Place the filter over the glass plate and pour the methenol into it. The methenol will evaporate (quickly) and what you will be left with is stuff that looks exactly like a tootsie roll. Take a razor blade or some kind of spatula and scoop up all the "tootsie roll" residue.

Use about 1 gram and plan to have 6 or 8 hours free....

NeoBarbarian: KJM315: She kept trying to talk to me, and I finally just told her "Look really want to help you, but I'm totally faced right now and I can't understand your face, sorry"

He did after a while, but when i sobered up he told me that there was no boyfriend, and that the next time i cock block him, he won't be as nice.

Oh yeah, these stories reminded me of an instance years ago when I took a heroic dose with a friend and had his girlfriend (now his wife) taxi us around to bars, parties, etc. I recall being at this house party for a while and ending up standing in the kitchen alone with some girl that my memory tells me was fairly attractive, tall, and dark with all the right curves. To my horror, while she was talking to me I realized that she might as well have been speaking martian, so I think I told her something like, "I'm sorry, but I'm having a hard time with conversation right now," but I'm not completely sure.

She nodded and walked away, leaving me alone in the kitchen. I console myself by believing that she wasn't as great as I remember. If she did look like I remember, than I probably wouldn't have been able to talk to her sober either.



I am pretty confident girls look a lot better when you are out of it. And...you think they are way more into you and the conversation.

Otherwise, I also screwed up a few great things.

KJM315: siva: Now that I'm out of college and don't know anyone who sells drugs anymore, I'm afraid to say I may never trip again :(

a couple of visits (trips?) to home depot/walmart and you can grow your own and enjoy them before memorial day.


If someone were to consider doing such things, where would one get the spores?

Theoretically, a google search would return many places to purchase spores. Also look for large, .org websites with the express purpose of collecting this kind of information. It's much easier to do than one might think.

Check out my comments earlier in this thread.

The spores themselves are legal in most (47 or 48) states.

To elaborate for watox, you have to smoke it from a pipe. It's a chemical naturally found in almost all organic life forms (usually in high concentrations at birth/death).

It feels like being shot out of a psychedelic canon, traveling down a dimensional highway of fractals and then appearing in a void. In that void I was approached by 6 swirling galaxies that pulsated red when talking to me (think 'It's a wonderful life'). Each of these asked me of I was "okay" and if the "journey was safe". Then each one turned into an Aphrodite-like goddess and the void solidified into a bar that was in a perfectly cubical room. Each of these goddesses looked like swirling red gas and moved like the intro to some psychedelic James Bond movie.

The backed away and realized that they were scaring me and admitted that "the journey is not easy for some" but that I had arrived safe. They also told me that my friends back in the room I was in needed to know that I had arrived safely and that I should smile. (My friends said they saw me open my eyes and smile to them). The effect of trying to look for my friends was the equivalent of turning around my head 180 degrees. Not literally, but that's what it was like. The voices of my friends sounded as if they were coming through walkie-talkies. They were full of static and highly disordered.

I sat in the corner at their table and they offered me the elixir of life. I asked if I needed the drug to get to this place, and they told me that many great meditators, religious icons, and thinkers have come on their own power. Not just from our world but all worlds. I saw these people entering and leaving the bar.

I looked at the elixir sitting on a serving tray next to me but refused their offer, saying "I will accept when I can arrive on my own power".

Long story short, what I thought was almost 20 minutes was less than 5. Some people tell tales that they lived an entire life and then returned to their own. Oh, and lots of "elf" color imagery, with greens, reds, and neons.

The "come down" was similar to the most intense LSD trip I've ever had.

A buddy and I turned out all the lights except for the fish tank. We laughed our arses off for what seemed like hours. Then I lit up a cigarette and instead of smoking it, we discovered we could "draw" pictures....went through a whole pack that way. Ping pong balls thrown across the room make for great tracers also.

We did a very similar thing with a camera. Old kind where the flash had to charge up w(hile making a whining sound) and then the little orange/redish light on the back would light up to let you know the capacitor was charged.

You could twirl that thing around for ever then "pull the trigger" and the flash would blow you farking mind!!

There is a tolerance for about 24-48 hours. I have done it a couple days later, but it was a little subdued. My description that I gave you was for a "break-through" dosage. Lower doses are akin to common psychedelics. I "worked my way up" to it (its a very scary thing to get comfortable with, and smell like burning sneakers).

And usually, you feel psycdelically spent for the next week. My friend did his break-through dosage and immediately said "Well I've done it. I seen all there is to see on hallucinogenics, I'm done." He came back to it a week or two later.

Two words: Set and setting

Those are the keys to the quality of your trip.

"Set" means mindset. If you're a rookie and you're the least bit worried, your Set is already less than optimal, so be very careful about choosing the proper setting.

With a good Set, any setting can turn out to be nearly perfect.

We once were driving in a small town near a college campus very late at night and got pulled over by a cop. Turned out to be one of the funniest experiences of my life. Pulled him right into our movie like we were Old Ben Kenobi!

/Electric Koolaid Acid tests is a must read.

Lets see, a handful of potent 'schrooms, covered in melted chocolate, shared with a beautiful 20 year old, pigtailed, blonde hair, blue eyed girl; followed by an afternoon of delicious sex while tripping.


If that is doing it wrong, I don't want to be right. Seriously.

I prefer having chewing it and chasing it with Tea. It's the only way for me to avoid nausea. Plus starting with a quiet "tea ceremony" is always a nice setting to begin a trip. Otherwise, you're totally doing it right.

We used to pick them after a good rain in Washington State. Of course, that was when I was in high school with no responsibility. Eeesh. My husband and I thought we'd have a fun stroll down memory lane and take some for Eeyore's Birthday Party (huge hippie/weirdo Austin party in honor of yes, Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh). I am peaking just as we get there, enjoying the drum circles, even the patchouli in the air. I generally don't hang out with dirty hippies, but today, the world is one with me and all is beautiful.

Then I saw my boss there. He waved me over and made me talk to him. Complete and TOTAL BUZZKILL.

AlwaysRightBoy: Puff the Magic Dragon................

Sorry, I learned Puff the Kosher Dragon song

Puff the Kosher Dragon,
lived in Palestine
and frolicked in the Synagogue
and drank Mogen David Wine

Good Rabbi Friedman,
loved that rascal Puff
and fed him lots of matzoh balls
and other Jewish stuff.

Then one day it happened,
Puff went and ate some pork,
so good Rabbi Friedman
took away that dragon's fork.

He told that naughty Puff
that dragons don't each such meat
that come from little piggies
with their dirty little feet.

Oh, Puff etc.

Puff became bar mitzvahed
Put on tefillin every day.
Wrapped up in his tallis, oh
That's the way he'd pray.

He said bracha before eating,
He bentsched after every meal.
Imagine how religious
It made that dragon feel.

Oh, Puff etc.

Egads, I ate all the acid I could, too. I lived in a small town and there was nothing to do, lsd was $3, so we pretty much did it every weekend. Trip out, drive around listening to Pink Floyd The Wall, trying to smoke pot but forgetting to because the damn Joker rolling paper pack was so darned fascinating. Good times.

My buddy and I bought a ton of mushrooms when we were in school, planning on selling enough to pay for a free oz or so... we ended up doing some about every other day for about 20 days until they ran out. Didn't sell any, just ate them all.
I figure we pretty much stayed high for about a month, on the residual and then kicking it again in the evening.
Did not get much done, but it was fun. Not great for brain cells, but I got really good at pool for some reason.
Luckily we could walk to our local bar.
I'd miss those days, if I could remember them.
