well you should be careful with anything you take(drug wise) and i really doubt that people here who claim that shrooms are 100% really know what they are talking about. most get there info from faq and sites like erowid and Lyce. but as to being sure nothing wrong will happen few people if any here will know. There could be some long term dangerous although compared to other drugs you might do shrooms are perhaps the safest, i suggest reading a published book concerning the subject. At least this way you'll get the info from a person who has studied these compounds and not from person who remembers reading about it on a web site. That being said, the FDA does not always bs you, and keep you from having fun, some drugs are schedualed because when taken while say driving and what not they can be dangerous, because well.. basically you can't be doing normal sshit while tripping, And concerning that shrooms have been taken for 1000s of yrs, this means little since how would one know if a person died from mushies so long ago, and even within say the last 100 yrs i doubt doctors would be able to tell the diff between mushroom poisioning and psilocybin related deaths.

actually i would rather trust either an updated book or even anybook by someone like R. Schultes(sp) or AH then a web site. Since anyone can have a web site EVEN a large one, while to publish a book you have to have some kinda of education regarding the specific subject. Also how can one person be an expert in all the chems on sites like erowid, this leads to obtaining info from other sources which leads to a kind of diluted and sometimes misleading info. I go agree that if a book is out of date its info cannot be regarded as 100% accurate but when it comes to revised editions or even scientific journals, no web site will ever be as accurate. Plus you do contradict yourself in your post: "Psiloc(yb)in bearing mushrooms are safe" "No one knows who will have a bad reaction to a drug, no one. Not the people who write the books, the ones who publish websites, or the ones who spark crackpipes in their bedrooms. No one. "
