why I dont want my friends to do shrooms
    #1213604 - 01/13/03 05:16 AM (21 years, 2 months ago)

Damn I find it so freakin annoying when all my friends who can get or have tried shrooms are like, yeah I got so fucked up off of it or this and that.... treating it like weed or alcohol.

NOthing annoys me more then how my other friends who tried them use them as something to get fucked up with, it seems like im the only one who thinks of a trip as a mystical thing that shouldnt be taken for recreation but for a journey of the mind.

I feel the same way as you regarding my use of fungi. Maybe someday they too will see the mushrooms as you see them.

I hate that too. But you know what I hate worse?

People who dont realize experiences are subjective. Some people use psilocybin mushrooms for self enlightenment and self exploration, other people like to get really out there and have a good time.

Maybe you should accept that. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Also, I know a lot of people that use them to 'get fucked up', but they all say they bond more, and talk about a lot of things they normally wouldn't. The mushroom is good for everyone, unless you're just a fuckhead who has no respect for anything, then theyll bite you in the ass.

People don't respect what they're taking. Hell, they don't even respect it at all let alone know anything about them. Dealers selling mushrooms for high prices to get fucked up off of. There are so many people who do them just because they can't get weed or LSD. I can accept some dealing, but not when a dealer doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.

let them spend their night of laying in the corner with an odd group of people and an odd musical selection and maybe they'll see the light eventually :smile:

Just try and subtley hint about how profound they can be whenever your friends bring them up - that's what I do anyway, and a couple friends have recently realized the almost infinite depth of this experience :smile:

Good luck to you and them

Apparently this is a common problem for people who love the mushies enough to dedicate a little time to learning about them.

My biggest pet peeve is when I'm trying to educate people, and they try to crack jokes about it. They make themselves look like complete idiots, and they walk away thinking they made themselves look cool.

Sometimes I just want to slap the piss out of them and say "you're not in 7th grade anymore you immature ignorant fuck!".....But then I'd just be lowering myself to their level. I settle for telling them I don't think they're ready for mushrooms,and to try drinking some cough syrup.

well... i believe that there is a solution for this kind of people! one of my friends was like "shrooms give you a spiritual experience?!?hahahahaha you watch too much television man...". This made me so angry that i gave him 48g wet pf classic to eat. the day after he said "ok...you were right!"

so don't be mad/angry! just give them 5-6g dried (or better 50-60g fresh) and send them to the outer space!

its just annoying to me because I can have this huge ass experience and I have a friend who also knows someone that just did a massive grow and he got an ounce for free:

him : dude I ate a quarter yesterday and go so fucked up it wasnt funny, it was almost out of hand.

me: when did you do them?

him: lunchtime yesterday, dude you should have seen me I could barely walk.

I dont care that he is using them to "get fucked up" I care that he doesnt seen the full effect on how awesome of an experience it can be when done by the way I believe they should be done. From the way he talks, even on a quarter he seems to have only scratched the surface. but then again hes kinda shady so he could just be lying about the whole thing.

anyway, that transcription is the reason that sparked this post.

I think mushroom's are pretty much what you make them...Although I tend to lean on the spirtual path, alot of my friends love eating mushroom's and drinking whiskey, that's when stuff get's crazy, and I alway's end up sitting back and chilling, well chilling and laughing at the fool's they make of themselve's....

my friends are mostly the same

sometimes those people can only describe what they felt as "fucked up" because the words to describe just arent there, they know what they felt but its all so new.

other times I would say that some people dont want to talk about it, they dont want to be the butt of a joke, almost as if their friends had set them up to be a big bullshitter about some "spiritual journey".

That, I would say, is mostly just a fear issue.

otherwise, its just the sheer magnitude of it all,

we gottah remember how powerfull these things are, nobody can deny it.


then again, there are just morons out there....

Why does someone have to have a spiritual experence for mushrooms to be worthwhile?
Is there something so wrong with taking them for a good time?
Thats like saying opaites should only be used for pain relief and never recerational use or saying DVD players shouldn't be used for playing CD's

I'm not saying that you can't find something spirtual in shrooms but there is nothing wrong with having a good time with them either.

Why judge people for this? I mean if they mock you for it then their assholes but you can't tell people that they can't use them for fun, just because you see them as some spiritual sacrament doesn't mean every once else should

I feel you man, but what I have done, is rather than keeping the mushrooms from them, I try to encourage mushroom use (giving away free shrooms, etc) in hopes of breakthrough experiences, that produce noticeable change. I have seen people who are typically callous become compassionate, and full of love. Get your friends to do strong doses, and use their altered state of conciousness to communicate principles to them. 90% of the time they will listen and understand.
