Magic mushrooms' create positive mental and physical health benefits that can last a

[Serpo]

(NaturalNews) Taking just the right amount of a substance found in "magic mushrooms" can help to positively improve attitude, mood, behavior, and happiness levels, according to new study published in the peer-reviewed journal Psychopharmacology. Researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore, Md., determined that psilocybin, a psychedelic substance found in certain mushrooms, can help improve a person's general well-being for up to a year after taking it -- and it allegedly does not cause any known negative side effects.

"We seem to have found levels of the substance (psilocybin) and particular conditions for its use that give a high probability of a profound and beneficial experience, a low enough probability of psychological struggle, and very little risk of any actual harm," said Dr. Roland Griffiths, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences and neuroscience at Johns Hopkins, and lead author of the study.

For his study, Griffiths tested the effects of psilocybin on 18 participants ranging in age from 29 to 62. All participants, which were predetermined to be psychologically and physically healthy, consumed varying levels of psilocybin or a placebo once a month for five months, all while being closely-monitored by professionals. Administrators also did not know from month to month which doses they were giving to which participants, or which sessions involved the use of a placebo.

At the end of the study period, Griffiths and his colleagues observed that 94 percent of the study participants rated their experiences with psilocybin either in the top five, or in some cases as the number one, most spiritually significant experiences they had ever had. The report also explains that 84 percent of participants noticed prolonged positive changes in their behaviors, in their relationships with family and friends, in physical and psychological self-care, and in spiritual devotion.

"I feel that I relate better in my marriage," said one participant. "There is more empathy -- a greater understanding of people and understanding their difficulties and less judgment."

extremely dangerous things those shrooms

Now... if they could only come up with a version that doesn't make you PUKE after eating it...
Did my time with 'shrooms in my youth, most visually "psychedelic" drug I ever tried - what LSD WANTS to be... but I just couldn't handle the puking. I do NOT like throwing up! :(

[Dogman]

Both sillysyum ;D and mescaline cactus have strong puke factors. Seems the longer it can be held down, the longer and better the high.

Lot's of cattle pastures here! ;D Brewing up mushroom sweet tea was the preferred method.

The cactus is a different story, back in the day they were hard to get, and even harder to get down. Better than lsd in some circles.

Or so I have heard! 8)

[BrewTech]

Giggles! LOL - literally.

I always feel better for several days after a massive laugh fest. This study doesn't surprise me at all.

[BrewTech]

Puking? I've heard of that with Mescaline, but not with mushrooms? You sure you have your psychedelics straight?;);)

I'm with ya on the puking thing ... UGH... but I've never heard of too many problems with mushrooms...

[Gaillo]

Puking? I've heard of that with Mescaline, but not with mushrooms? You sure you have your psychedelics straight?;);)

Yep... even the TASTE (like dirty socks mixed with moldy cheese) made me want to hurl! ;D

Mescaline , mostly, mushrooms dependes eating them or brewing a tea with them. Tea not so much. It's the alkaloids in them that give the bad taste, and puke factor.

Not for a strong mind.


Unless of course one eats the wrong species and gets poisoned or something.


Otherwise, psychedelic mushrooms are much safer than sleeping pills, or even Advil.

Ever tried DMT?

It's a molecular cousin of psilocybin that only lasts a few minutes, but is probably the most profound psychedelic known to man.

[Silver Rocket Bitches!]

I've had extremely positive experiences as well as extremely negative experiences on shrooms. I can tell you, the negative ones are much more profound.

Yep.

It's also finally been made into a (documentary) film, after many moons of slow progress.

So I've read, I wouldn't mind trying it. But no idea how to go about procuring some DMT.

[sirgonzo420]

So I've read, I wouldn't mind trying it. But no idea how to go about procuring some DMT.

DMT is present in nearly every living thing, including people, and even including the legislators that outlawed it.

It can be procured via extraction from any number of plants (although the yield differs substantially, depending on the source). Here's one extraction method using Mimosa hostilis root bark: http://www.erowid.org/plants/mimosa/mimosa_chemistry1.shtml

If you are familiar with the channels of the deep, dark internets, and are brave enough to order through the mail, you can go to Silk Road and purchase any number of items (most illicit), including DMT at reasonable prices. Silk Road cannot be accessed from the "regular internet", but only through Tor, and only accepts the digital crypto-currency bitcoins as tender of payment. It's a bit like a blackmarket ebay (but not an auction - just different vendors).

If you need help finding the place, PM me. I haven't ordered anything from them, and I'm not sure that I would, but it's a neat place nonetheless, and those will the balls to try the service are generally satisfied customers.

Anyway, extracting your own DMT isn't beyond the realm of possibility... it's not like trying to cook LSD or anything.

DMT can sometimes be found at hippie gatherings and festivals and the like (usually under the name 'deemsters'), but you won't find anybody on any streetcorners selling it... except perhaps at the corner of Haight and Ashbury. lol.

Hell, if you were around me, I'd *give* you some (not that I have any... ;) ), but I figure it'll find you if/when you're ready.

DMT is found in Ayahuasca--a jungle vine from the estern Amazon jungle in Brazil and Peru. You can buy the dried version of this on eBay.

I'm not sure how to take it. They say you need to have a MonoAmine Oxidase inhibitor to take it by eating. Not sure if you can smoke it.

I haven't tried this yet, but I've been looking into it. A good source of information on esoteric herbal psychoactives is Erowid---https://www.erowid.org/splash.php

I like the idea of a 1/2 hour trip.

The MAOI allows the DMT to be orally active. The curanderos learned this thousands of years ago... The ayahuasca brew contained both DMT containing plants, and plants containing MAOIs.

Just smoking it probably wouldn't get you were you want to be... smoked DMT should be pure or near pure and should be inhaled quickly and held in for as long as possible. With smoked DMT, the name of the game is to inhale and hold as much DMT smoke as possible; it would be very difficult to get enough in your system just by smoking plant matter.

Also, ayahuasca is meant to be taken in a group setting, with a curandero/shaman as a guide. This does have an impact on the experience.

Try meditation, it's reputed to be able to produce both DMT and serotonin. These are the natural agonists produced by your body for the hallucenogenic and blissful feelings you get when high on shrooms.

I have meditated and I have experimented with psychedelic substances.

Psychedelics are a shortcut.

Thanks, I've read a lot about DMT and what has been gathered on "trips". I've read some horrible experiences, and some really cool ones. Just feel I've reached a point in my life where human knowledge isn't going to answer some of my questions. So I'd like to take a trip and ask. :D

[Dogman]

Read about "Set and Settings" before you try. It is very important that both are as right and cool they can be. Or it will not be good for you.

One link of many.

You must not have been getting good acid.

lol

Good clean LSD-25 will not cause one any physical harm (or mental/emotional/psychological harm either, assuming one can handle oneself).

One of the problems with LSD being illegal is the uncertainty of dosage and even chemical content of street specimens.

There is still some good acid around though.

[Awoke]

Oh no, I have had good acid too. Blotters. It's the microdots that were cut with rat poison.

[LastResort]

Always had a great time taking shrooms in my late teens. Happy, giggly, tripping out:D. Then had a couple bad experiences in my early early 20's. The last time I took them was about 3 years ago while in Amsterdam. Three of us took the "strongest" variety we could get, pretty sure they were they columbian strain. Started out as a good time laughing seeing shit, but one buddy couldn't handle himself.... Long story before we knew it, it was 3 am and it just wouldn't stop....:o

I'd consider taking a small amount again on a camping or fishing trip with close friends...

I did two hits of blotter acid on Dec 31 1979, it was at a New Years eve party I was hosting. That was the last time I did acid, the trip turned bad after about 6 hours. I had to leave my own party.
