Taking shrooms while sick?

Hey guys, so my friend is watching a family member's house this weekend and I got invited to stay overnight and try some shrooms for the first time. I've dabbled with a few drugs over the last couple years and I've done extensive research on magic mushrooms so I feel like I'm pretty well prepared. Only trouble is the fact that I have a cold. I feel kind of out of it, have a slight cough, I keep sneezing and I have a wicked stuffy/runny nose. I know everybody says that you should wait until you're in a good mood and in good health before you take shrooms, but this is literally one of the best and only opporutinites I'm going to have to do this for a while. It's going to be really hard to find another unsupervised place where we'll be alone for that amount of time, so I really don't want to have to pass up this perfect opportunity that we've been looking forward to for a long time Some people say it amplifies the cold symptoms, but some people say their symptoms go away completely. I just want to know what to expect. Would it be wise to take a daytime cold medicine beforehand? Anything else a first timer should know before taking shrooms? Thanks!

For a first time I wouldn't recommend doing it ill.
But it's down to you really, if it's one of those colds that's just a bit annoying you should be fine. I'd say definitely don't do it if you're too ill to do any normal everyday activities though.

swim does, but swim takes them constantly...
you
dont know if you like them.
dont know if they like you.
dont know how they will make you feel.
wont be able to tell your sickness from the shrooms.
you dont even know what kind of shrooms you like... swim likes tampanesis galindoi (and other tampanesis strains)... swim doesnt really like cubes....
lots of people LOVE cubes. (so swim is clearly wrong about this)... 
you need a baseline perspective and some trial and error.
and you cant do that while sick

Don't use SWIM. Everyone knows it is you.
"tampanesis galindoi" is not a species.
There is Psilocybe galindoi and Psilocybe tampanesis. Two different species in the same section of Mexicanae.

i thought mexicanae and galindoi were species in the section tampanesis.
i thought they were originally found in tampa. and thats how they were named, i see you are correct though... i'll probably botch that in the future again because of the origin story.

Are you talking about the flavor? Because psilocybin is psilocybin....

flavor and strength and over all experience, the way it smells, everything.

If you have a cold when you do shrooms you'll be tripping AND you'll have a cold, which isn't the best idea ever. If you're at all suffering you'll be suffering more, and it'll seem like forever as well. Wait.

The biggest factor in having a negative trip in my experience is not having enough energy to mentally handle it. If it's just a sniffly nose no big deal but if your nauseous or running a fever or something severe like that it might end up ruining your experience.

Heh, reminds me of a trip I had. I was sick that day, but not so sick that I could handle boredom. So I thought if I trip out, the day would be a whole lot better.
Oh man, the physical discomfort was so not worth it! I also found it really hard to stear away from negativity, thankfully the shroomery was here for me that day. So, that was my experience. I'd wait until I feel better if I where you.
