Are mushrooms safe for my co worker to ingest?
    #23884202 - 12/01/16 11:03 AM (7 years, 1 month ago)

My coworker is in his mid 60's. He's done lsd and mescaline years ago but never tried mushrooms. His blood pressure is high and he is on a pretty large dose of medicine for it. Not sure what drug but I could find out what and dosage if necessary. He wants to try a small amount of mushrooms but wants to make sure it's safe first. He also is a medical marijuana patient.

A small dose between .5 and 2grams will be completely safe.
On higher doses a panic can set in on less experienced trippers and that could affect his BP.
You going to be there with him?

It is definitely safe but what kind of meds is he taking?

Psychedelics will atleast slightly increase his blood pressure. Weather or not it will be harmful to him i cant say but is BP will increase.

I won't be there with him. He wasn't looking to trip real hard. I was going to start him off with about a half gram of cyanescens. I'll find out what dosage and what medication he is on and report back. I think that at that dosage it should be safe. I've never had mushrooms increase my bp, always the opposite. In fact I have a friend who has very low blood pressure that will pass out on mushrooms because it lowers his bp so much. Pretty scary the first few times. He hit his head on a granite counter once at a party lol. Now if he feels it coming on he just lays down and it's all good. Cubes effect him more than wood lovers too wonder why.

So he is on a pretty high dose of his medicines. 100mg of losartan potassium and 12.5mg of hydrochlorothiazide a day. What do yall think I'm not very keen on drug interactions.

I looked i into serotonin receptor agonists effect on BP a little more and it appears to be much more complex than increasing or decreasing BP.

serotonin can acctually increase or dcrease blood pressure through different mechanisms for different species.

Quote:

  Though selective 5-HT1A receptor agonists can lower heart rate (and arterial blood pressure), 5-HT usually lowers heart rate by eliciting an initial short-lasting hypotension due to bradycardia (von Bezold-Jarisch-like reflex) via 5-HT3 receptors located on sensory vagal nerve endings in the heart. Once this bradycardia reflex is suppressed--for example, during deep anesthesia, vagotomy, or spinal section--5-HT can increase heart rate in different species by a variety of mechanisms. Myocardial 5-HT1-like, 5-HT2, and 5-HT4 receptors appear to be involved in the cat, rat, and pig, respectively.






Check out the whole article if you want OP here is the link.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1702484

Btw incase you didnt know, the common method of action between almost all psychedelics (i only count serotonergic haullucinogens that are either tryptamines, phenethtlamines or lysergamides. Others will disagree but many people share my view and my view is the one that makes sense from a chemical and pharmalogical stand point rather than effects which are subjective. But this isnt the thread to get into that) is agonism of 5-HT2a receptors. 5-HT is serotonin.


In conclusion: serotonin receptor agonists can effect BP and heart rate in a variety of ways.

Like Timethyl said, by keeping the dosage low, he should be ok. I am in my mid 50's and take a low dose of blood pressure meds...have never had any problem...the meds may actually help the vasoconstriction accompanying psychs.

One thing I should mention is that he should have an experienced sitter that could talk him down if anything went south. The paranoia from thought loops or such can definitely cause a rise in bp.

Do not take medical advice from this forum regarding your co worker.

It is irresponsible.

I am merely using all of my resources to gain insight, information, personal experiences, etc. My co worker will most likely not want to ingest if there is a risk of bp increasing.

To put it simply, there is a risk.  Beyond that I cannot tell you.  This is something he should discuss with his family physician in the privacy of the confidential patient/doctor relationship.

There is a risk every time anyone eats mushrooms. Don't think he will talk to a physician about this. And why must it be in the privacy of the confidential patient/doctor relationship? You're starting to sound a little overbearing here.

First of all most doctors dont know about the method of action of psychedelic drugs. Only people with an interest in psyches ASWELL as a knowledge of pharmacology know.

And just so you know. A family docor is a jack of all trades and a master of none. Thats why we have specialists. They have to study everything in 7 years. They cant focus on one area. Someone who studies just chemistry and pharmacology for 7 years knows their shit (about those 2 topics) better than a family physician.

Second if he is ignorant and doesnt understand that psyches are different than other drugs in many ways then he may be less likely to prescribe you abusable medication that you may have a legitimate medical need for at some point.

I told my doctor that i smoke weed and drink occasionally because he asked. I wouldnt tell him about any drug that is less socially acceptable than weed or alcohol unless i had a problem.

I honestly think i know more about the chemistry and pharmocology of most family physicians who are not into psyches.

I linked a paper that OP can get his info from.

Thats just my 2 cents.

All I know is that psilocybin and pot both lower blood pressure which is why people often pass out when mixing weed and shrooms not weed and acid.

I'll try to look for a link but I've also read that psilocybin can momentarily heighten blood pressure as well but it doesn't cause consistent vasoconstriction.

Read the link i posted. Its a complex issue.

Serotonin receptor agonists usually cause muscle tension which can increase blood pressure.

I used to have very low BP from abusing weed.

Ive drank beer, inhailed nitrous and smoked weed on the comedown of a shroom trip and i didnt pass out despite my period of low blood pressure. it was fixed by this time though i just feel like its worth mentioning.

I would get a gnarly head rush almost everytime i stood up and i would almost pass out and throw up if i smoked weed on an empty stomach.

On all psyches but mostly shrooms i always feel strong hypertension (increased BP) it makes me cold and my muscles get ridgid.

the hypertension fades after the comeup so it would make sense that it causes temporary hypertension like you said. The link i posted acctually memtions that aswell.

Ya I saw the link and see how it is a little more complex but even then are you sure it's really that black and white? Why do you think all Serotonin receptor agonists would have the same effect on blood pressure?

Theoretically can't there be a serotonin receptor agonist that lowers BP and another one that heightens it? I mean the fact that they're both serotonin receptor agonists is really the only physiological thing that they inherently have in common.

I always thought LSD heightened blood pressure and mushrooms lowered it :shrug:
I always thought it was just that simple, I mean apparently it's not that simple and like you stated it's a little complex but roughly speaking I still find it to be true enough most of the time.

We have another thread going on right now where people are talking about the up and down nature of mushroom trips and how dynamic they seem, maybe during different stages of the trip it can have different effects on blood pressure?
