im sure youv heard the phrase "words will not describe it" a thousand times.

You will not truly appreciate this phrase until you try it, they truly cant. Ever have something on the tip of your tongue but cant think of the word? Words can vaguley (sp?) paint a picture, but words will not create a mona lisa.

ill tell you man, your trrip weill be completely diffrent depending on your wieght, personality, mood, dosage, atmosphere, enviroment, strain ofm ush, weather youve eaten recently, what youve eaten, if you did anything else with them or recently... in other words there is no way to describe what a trip is like... your best bet is to 1. read over the information on this site about the effects, the trip tips, dosages etc, just to get a basic idea of what physically mushrooms do toy ou. this wont even give you the sluightest idea what it really FEELS like , your first trip will show you that, but at least you wont be going in blind. after that, read as many trip reports as you can handle, from all the levels. this will show you a wide variety of things that can happen or have happend to other people. Like i said this doesnt compare to doing it in any way, but by getting a sense of this vast array of possible experiences you will be that much more prepared for what really happens. as for going insane, yes and no. I mean, the mushrooms themselves physically will not make you go nuts or anything like that, however you may feel slightly unhinged for any amount of time afterwards. this is because of the mental shock caused by having your beliefs and ideas on reality so drastically changed. after relying on the input of your sense for so long, seeing those senses drastically distorted and warped can be a frightening experience. However, the benefits and pleasure that you can have are beyond words... Another possibilty is that mush will reach into the deepest aspects of your personality and wrench them into focys so that you cant hide them from yourself. this experience can also be horrifying, sometimes a trip will show you how you have been squandering your time on earth, how many mistakes youve made. For example more than once on mush ive become terribly aware of my insensitivety to the feeling of others. i once phoned up a long time friend to say i was sorry for everything bad id ever done to him and to tell him that hes a great guy. this is an example of how mushrooms can really teach you lessons on how to live and behave. However, it can also bring to the surface latent mental problems. my brother went into a deep depression after on mushroom trip, and was bipolar for along time after. he had to be treated in some kind of a mental place for a few months. After all that though he still says that he would do it again, and that his times on mushrooms have been the best of his life. to summarize, be as informed as possible before takin the mushrooms. do some soul searching and plenty of research. ask yourself if your ready, if you enviroment is a positive one, and if your willing to have the basis of your reality ripped apart and the bare truth shown to you. that said, its possible youll just laugh you ass off at the walls for a couple hours and then fall asleep. thats the point. you never know.
