Re: Whats the dumbest thing you've heard about shrooms? [Re: ArtieFartie]

I used to quite commonly hear one along the lines of "a girl I once knew took some shrooms and was never the same again". People always tell me that and personally I think it's codswallop. Even if some random girl took like 50 grams, had an uber bad trip and got freaked to the next shit from it - she'd eventually go back to normal unless she kept on tripping. People's brains tend to block out traumatic events, especially if nothing in their daily life relates the experience (like say, tripping).

The funny thing about this story is how often I have heard it from different people that couldn't possibly know each other (or the same girl). And yet all of them tell it the exact same way. It seems to me like this is just some word of mouth thing that people use as justification for not using shrooms.

I guess that's just how people are. I mean believing what your hear via word of mouth until somebody with authority (television or news site) tells you better. Personally I would never EVER base me decision to not do something on some hearsay - and I most certainly NOT walk around spreading that bull like it's the word of god.

Everyone seems to think they are poison. Thats probably the most annoying thing I hear about mushrooms continuously.




I hear this one too. Like people that say "at least I don't eat poisonous mushrooms see things that aren't really there."

Whenever you tell them it's not poison then you'll get some response like "so then why does it make you see things that aren't there".

Oh people. Kinda disturbing how easy it is to make a group of people believe fiction when the truth is so readily available (the internet). Like I can understand propaganda being effective in the 60-90's but today? Ah well - I guess the internet itself is still young. I hope it's never corrupted.

Heard the ' poison is what makes you trip'
Just eat the caps, stems don't do anyhing
Heard various criminals did mushrooms... Insert your favorite nutbag
To many mushrooms can kill you or you will think you can fly

That mushrooms don't make you gay

Really? Because a very knowledgeable friend explained to me at some length that it's because they poison your liver, which screws up your blood sugar levels and makes you trip. Apparently more than 8g will definitely kill you. Mmmmmmm.

A friend just told me he heard somebody say that you couldn't go into space after tripping on acid because it burns off a layer of your brain, and your brain will bleed because of the pressure in space.  Also, that the pressure would release the LSD stored in your spinal chord, causing you to start tripping again.  :rolleyes:

Some people...

Lol.  I don't know why it would show up as "food poisoning" on a drug test or whatever.

But eating psychedelic mushrooms is definitely food poisoning yourself.  The mushroom doesn't produce that so that you'll eat it, it produces it to ward creatures off from eating it.  Unfortunately for the poor mushroom, we like being food poisoned by them.

I can't think of any stupid things people have told me… I usually don't mind educating though, unless someone is persistent with their foolish ideas.  Usually I just explain the truth and dispel the rumor.

Its pretty crazy. Some people are dead set in believing it. I have to start getting into semantics with them. Come on...What is 'poison'? Anything that you ingest that gets you high? So clearly weed is poison, at least if you eat it anyway. Alcohol is obviously poison. Nyquil is poison by that logic too.
"No, its poison because its a mushroom"
Well, maybe if you're starving and scavenging the forest for food, and accidentally eat one in search of nutrition, then yes, you can call it being 'poisoned', if you didn't know what you ate, but not when you buy it from a drug dealer in a plastic baggie for the purpose of getting high.
And finally, what kind of moron eats poison? Aren't we smart enough to know to avoid 'poison'? If you really think mushrooms are poison and you are eating them, then you are clearly a tard.

I've heard that you should hunt wild magic mushrooms at night because they GO BACK INTO THE GROUND by morning.
