I'd recommend doing some searching for info on magical fungi, cause you seem to be pretty unknowledgeable on the subject. I'm not trying to come off as a dick or anything, but find out the true facts on drugs and spread true information to others. I'm so sick of people telling me I trip on shrooms cause my brain is bleeding...
Check out www.erowid.org . As for personal information, I took half an eigth and tripped pretty damn good for my first time, it was a perfect dose for me. After that I've been eating eigths and found it to be the reasonable dose for myself. Good luck and have fun! Stay safe, most important...

Are you talking to me eggystardust? You replied to me, so I'm assuming so. This person isn't spreading misinformation, they just asked a question. Big difference between that and actually spreading false info intentionally. No one told you your brain is bleeding from mushrooms.

he was probably talking to dust and just didn't bother to change the auto reply to. When he was mentioned the spread of misinformation he was most likely talking about dust's friend.

It's impossible to OD on mush in the sense your body will shut down and die. But you CAN od in such a way you eat too much and wake up the next day not remmeberin anything. But with 1/8 you'l be fine.
Tell your friend hes a moron and to do some research before spreading lies...

you can't OD and die from mushrooms. your stomach would explode from all the mushrooms far before you OD'd. Unless you have some rare allergy to mushrooms, and I've never heard of that.

Mushrooms are very safe in a physical sense, you would have to eat such a ridiculous amount in order to be in any physical danger that it's safe to say that you won't OD.

I remember reading somewhere its around 20-25 pounds of mushrooms.
Your stomach can't hold 20+ pounds of anything, so it would be physically impossible to overdose.

The only OD there is with shrooms is taking more then you intended to take. Like 4.5 grams instead of 3.5 grams and getting higher then you want to be... or rather then you are prepared to be.
Do some reserch. Erowid.org is an excelent starting point.

Exactly, by overdose, if you mean an overdose in the typical sense of the word like it causes damage to your body, then no, mushrooms do not cause any damage to your body even in the highest doses says the current evidence. But you can take more than you're comfortable with and have a bad time, and some people call this an overdose even though I think that's a misapplied word in this case.
-------------------- So long as you are praised think only that you are not yet on your own path but on that of another.

people CAN do stupid things while on shrooms, so unless your experienced you should have a reliable sitter. But the only real problem is that some people are affected/tramatized even, from bad trips.

Here's another good link on psilcybin and psilocin. It's a lab study on the effects of mushrooms.
