Mushrooms effect on the brain
    #5254476 - 02/02/06 09:36 AM (18 years, 2 months ago)

Does anyone know or know of a website that explains mushrooms (or weed) effects on the brain?  In my pysch class, we are learning about the brain (neuro transmitters, synaptic gap, dendrites, etc.) and some other crazy shit.  We learned how to give a dog a natural high!  So if you know or know of a website, pass it on.

The brain has these little things called neuro transmitters and blah blah blah. Point is, they deal with chemistry in our brain. Some help us sleep, deal with emotions, some help us with adreniline, and the one specifically is our minds way of creating a natural opium high if we are hurt. It isn't that strong, so when it is used, its usually only when we get small little scratches and shit and we don't when we got them. Opium, heroin, and morphine make that neuro transmitter work ten fold so that's why we can feel no pain when we are under those influences. In surgery morphine helps that neuro transmitter do its job so there are lower risks of addiction to morphine when used correctly but when your not in pain, you can easily get addicted. AT ANY RATE, to give a dog a natural high, all you have to do is rub their nose really fast and they will sneeze a couple of times and then be in la-la land. I don't know why rubbing their nose realeases those neuro transmitters like it does but it does.

someone correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the active chemicals in mushrooms, psilocybin and psilocin act on the serotonin receptors in your brain and that some how translates to trip?

again if I'm wrong about this please correct me, getting rid of ignorance is this world is a noble endeavour indeed.

Yes, in basic terms the mechanism of action is via the 5-HT2A receptor. This is a serotonergic receptor. Psilocybin has a partial agonist effect at this receptor (the same is true for LSD). Other receptor subtypes likely contribute, however the leading theory is that the 5-HT2A is the most important.
