Rumors and the mind

I've noticed how alot of people swear how the stupidest rumors are true. Example.. this guy I know says that when he trips, he feels his brain bleed. He believes this rumor to be totally true? After all, the visual distortions MUST be caused by blood splattering all over your brain and the backs of your retinas. Another person swears how he can feel the poison in mushrooms "bubble up his spine" which is what causes the body high. My question here is.. do you know of any people that believe rumors to the point of "feeling" the effect in the rumor? The mind and placebo effects are strong things..

I think I know what that guy's talking about when he says he can feel his brain "bleeding." Naturally, its not bleeding, and thats a pretty stupid thing to assume, but I get this feeling in my brain from psychedelics - it feels like my brain is growing or shifting around, which certainly isn't really happening, but thats the best description I can come up with for the feeling.
I don't know what his problem is - for me, this feeling is HIGHLY EUPHORIC
-------------------- Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me. In addition: SHPONGLE

I love the feeling LSD gives me.

Anyone who thinks that bullshit is true doesn't deserve to ever trip again. I've had many people contraindict me, saying that I'm wrong and it is a known fact that an LSD trip is caused by your brain splitting in two and the blood dripping down your spinal cord. Anyone that stupid deserves to have their brain bleed.

You should tell anyone who says this that they wouldn't have a short term memory after they trip if it were true.

"If you take shrooms more than 4 times a year, you will die!"
"*laughs in her face* hahaha, no, that's complete bullshit! That's the most fucked up thing I've ever heard, I think you should do some reasearch"
"No it's true! Well, maybe you won't always die, but there's a good chance you will!"
"You're an idiot. Sexy, but and idiot"
*she gets pissed and walks away*
I later apologized, but told her to do some research before she shrooms. She's refused.

The best thing is, the people who say this contraindict me and say I am wrong. I remember texts from years ago that explained the myth but I just can't find them. A link would be great if anyone had one.

Yes, about 98 % of the people that I know think that. They are a bunch of dumb asses, it scares me.
