They are going to far with that, a poisonous mushroom might cause all that.

There is no proof that cubensis can cause death? No records or research? Thought not.

National Geographic has somewhat of an anti-progressive bias in some aspects.
In the green fuels issue they entirely neglected hemp.

"mortification" is interesting word-choice...

They were a bit vague in their descriptions of the effects. As someone said above they could mean death from perception changes.
I wouldnt go as far in saying they dont know what theyre talking about. They have to remain just a little bit politically correct.
At least appreciate the positive light theyre shining on LSD and pot.
If they talk about the medicinal effects acid has on cluster headache sufferers, then they surely will talk about mushrooms too.

i can see that, i'm sure someone has done somethihng retarded while tripping and died, where they might not have sober
people on this forum say they have drivin on shrooms, and those are only the people talking about it, here
and when people kill someone while drunk driving, it adds a stat to alcohol related deaths
makes sense to me
but water can kill you too, and there is no warning on a water bottle lol

Sounds biased to me.
Its why I stopped watching the history channel. I hope National geographic gets their shit together.

are humans invincible while on a head full of shrooms?
cause if thats true i'm gonna eat 1/2 oz and box some cops, then laugh as the bullets bounce off of me
i'm a little bias myself too, i think people should be cautious and ponder there actions before dosing on shrooms
even if that means vaguely claiming something is dangerous

Psychedelics can dramatically raise heart rate and give loads of physical symptoms related to strong emotions this could cause a heart attack for sure.

So they would be dying of a heart attack, not an overdose of shrooms. Having a heart attack usually is because of a pre-existing health condition; smoking, obesity, etc. The shrooms themselves didn't cause the heart attack, they just induced it, as would an intense game of basketball or going for a run.

This.
I don't see how shrooms can harm anyone, that is unless you are retarted enough to take them an environment that could risk getting you killed.
