New to shrooms. Please read.

Ok so I have a few questions about shrooms. I want to try shrooms and I know my friend would give them to me, but I am concerned about some health risks. I've tried weed about 7 times and I want something different. I need to know ALL of the health risks that shrooms can cause. I am 13 years old and I don't want to get too fucked up. I play sports. Right now i'm not sure what kind of shrooms i'll be getting. If it helps, I live in Hawaii. Basically i'm asking to know ALL of the health risks caused by shrooms. Also, are they addicting in any way?
Oh and i've looked on erowid and couldnt find anything.
Thanks for reading this!!!! Please respond!!

First I would say that your only 13 and there is no rush. If you proceed then try to remember that it is better to get all the education you can now becuse it doesn't get any easier. There aren't realy and physical health risks to speak of be there are some mental health risks. If there is a history of mental health problems in your family there can be a risk of bringing problems tothe surface. They are not physicaly addictive. There is lots of info at erowid. http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/mushrooms_faq.shtml It should be noted that like all 'major' hallucinogens, psilocybin can precipitate psychotic episodes and uncover or aggravate previous mental illness. If you're stressed out or depressed, don't take mushrooms; if you have schizophrenia or something, DO NOT take mushrooms.

If you are that young and 'dont want to get too fucked up' you shouldnt consider taking shrooms. Wait till you are older when there will be less chance of you fucking up your psychological development.

That is the rule but this is an instance where we can be a good help to a young kid. He had a serious question and I'm glad he came here for info rather that the mis-information sites.

Hm. I was well into my twenties before trying mushrooms. I'm sure my psyche couldn't have taken that shock when I was thirteen. Very glad that I never tried it before becoming an adult.

I agree, but once someone has revealed that they are under 18, they put the shroomery in the position of permitting access to minors. If I was a journalist looking for a sensationalist story about drugs info on the internet, I would most certainly make a post here claiming to be a child and asking for drugs info.

My first trip was at about 15. I wish I would have concentrated on school a while longer. Maybe I wouldn't be wearing this asshat now.

No matter how smart you think you are, youre 13 and you really cant log the task of what shrooms and other hallucinogens can make for your brain.

If you really want to try shrooms, start LOW, like 1g or less If you're only searching for something different than weed, try beer instead

I'd certianly wait. Mushrooms are a very intense feeling which you should be quite experienced with life and be aware of spiritual moments.
I used to live in Hawaii, and I know how people there seem to do a lot of drugs at an early age. All I can say is that the mushrooms will not go anywhere...Copelandia cyanescens grow naturally in the cow patties pretty much year round.

My first trip was when i was 13, i had depression for about a month after that , alot of shit was fucked. Started smokin pot when i was 13 too, let the kid make his own choice on what he puts in his body. Just be EDUCATED about the drugs you do kid. But like GrapeFruity said it's about maturity. When I was 13 i was very mature, all my friends were 18+.

I would wait a few years if i was only 13 years old... if you really want to try them, then take AT MOST 1 gram just to get a feel for it, although it would still not prepare you for a level 3+ trip.
Like somebody said before, if you want to try mushrooms as a way to try something different, you should drink beer instead. Atleast wait until you realize that santa clause, the tooth fairy and the easter bunny do not exist, but only on shrooms

Beer is good
I know I sure as hell didn't eat mushrooms when I was 13.

I was young around 13 when i ate mushrooms for the first time, i ended eating about 7 grams and didnt rember who i was what i was or anything of such, i ended up at my house and telling my mom i ate mushrooms because i thought she would stop bothering me. It was a fun time though after all the confusion of forgetting who i was tattered off.

Please read the "physical Effects of mushrooms" in the experiencing mushroom FAQ. It's almost impossible to OD, it's not addictive, basically, I'd be more worried with the things you'll do under the influence rather than the drug itself. Be smart and respectful, don't give into peer pressure.
