Mushroom's are all about ego death and clensing the doors of perception. Its done, you have learned alot. Now integrate it into you life. Continue on. When time comes to do it again you'll know. Mushrooms only show you the door, you must walk through it on your own.

The above post is entirely fictional... bla bla bla ??
Is this included??
Well at some point and time in life we must choose if this is what you want then you are doing the right thing. BUT if you are doing for someone else then rethink your decision.
I value you as more than just a member of this board we have spent a fair amount of time off the BB talking as well.
I hope you will still stick around and share knowledge.
I hope your decisions bring you piece of mind.
(well you know what I mean!)

I think that psychedelics have a limited "learning value" also. I'd say be happy that you had (I'm hoping) some beautiful experiences and that you feel that you've learned something. Put your energy into whatever else in your life needs to be done. Perhaps one day, you'll feel the urge to consume entheogens again. By all means though, of course stick around the message board. My mushy days are long since over, and I don't dex often, but I find it interesting just to see the culture. Perhaps you can continue to contribute to it.
Best wishes

Cool. Well, as long as you're still around that makes me feel your decision to stop tripping is irrelevant for the community. Don't take this as though I'm saying your post is useless, it was just that I got a feeling that you expected perhaps some sad replies from your post (correct me if I'm wrong).
I look at myself. I haven't done shrooms in over 6 months or acid in over a year now. Haven't smoked pot in a few months. I don't dex regularly. I'm still here. Despite some of my incredibly offensive posts I still like to think that at least some useful information is exchanged because of me.
You will feel the same way, no doubt. I think most drug use comes to an end. I'll always be nostalgic for my heavy drug days. I'll always be curious about psychedelics. I'll always want to use psychedelics, but I've got other stuff in my life now. I can't afford the time and energy.
Bleh, I'm rambling.
Anyway, I'm curious, what was it that made you decide you were done? Was it a long series of events until one day you decided to stop fighting it and know it was time to stop? or was it very sudden?

Hi PC. If this feels right to you, then it's the right thing to do. It's good that you are not to burning your bridges and writing off shrooms off forever, as once the door is closed it can be difficult to open again.
I went through a similar period a while ago, and spent a lot of time thinking about the place of entheogens in my life. I eventually realised that from a spiritual/learning point of view the integratation of your experiences into your ego is even more valuable than the experiences themselves. At the time I was using entheogens very much for fun as well as the insights they offered, and wasn't offering the plants/fungi the respect they deserve. It's all well and good to trip and have spiritual/learning experiences, but you then need to take time out to learn from these experiences and relate them to yourself and your life.
I now only trip a few times each year (Probably 4 or 5), but always aim for high level experiences. I find that I can learn a lot more in this way.
I don't think it's nescesarilly true that shrooms can only take you so far, but I think that once you reach a certain point the shrooms demand to be treated in a certain way if they are to continue teaching.
Glad to hear you'll be stickng around, whatever you decide is the right path to take.
Take care

You are right, you dont need to take shrooms anymore as long as they cant show you new things(or you cant use their visions now). if you feel so, stop them. but please make sure that you can allways reverse your decision. nothing is for ever, right.
if you think the cultivation is a nice hobby then why dont you continue it? i love to care for my litle plants and fungi. even without ingesting them it makes you feel fine to see them grow healthy.
perhaps one last thought. as long as cultivation of whatever is only a hobby you should have no problem doing it while your focus of your life is on other things. drugs shouldnt fill your life, just enhace it. (i hope i didnt understand you wrong)

If you look hard enough, you'll find something in school that is as interesting as mushrooms. It's there. Look for it.

i do think that entheogens can only take you so far..ones mind has a limited capacity here on earth..and it is good to get away from trippin for a while..but i think entheogens are necessary for keeping your spirituality at its peek..i like to leave them alone for a while..i quit trippin for like 3 years and then i decided to eat some blotter at a camp out..i felt like was at home again..it was so nice..then i started doin mushrooms and finally growing them..its not good to trip all of the time because then it starts to be one of those things that you are so familiar with that you dont need it anymore..but if you just quit for a while and then come back..i think that youll see what im talkin about..i think youll be back (=

I think entheogens can only take you as far as you want to go with them. The possibilities are endless when it comes to the things you can learn from them. But the thing that matters is that you learn what you need to know to help you in life. Many people find self discovery through entheogens as well as meaning to their life and the universe. For many this is all they seek. And when they find this there is no need for further use of entheogens.
I don't know if I will ever stop using, although I have slowed greatly in frequency from almost daily to once or twice a year. I do know that if I ever do stop completely, the knowledge and peace of mind that I have been helped to find, will always stay an intrigal part of my life. I still like growing and probably always will, not necessarily to trip, but just because I've always been a gardener, from veggies and herbs to trees, and fungi. I'm glad you'll still be sticking around.

I know where you are coming from. (' allways hated that expression ;) ...) I too had somewhat religious expreinces shrooming a few years ago. I had some well needed "reality attacks". I discovered that there was so much more that I could do with my life. I discovered that who I thought were my closest friends really were not. It was very painfull but the trips helped to force me to get a real job, a real life and to quit makeing excusses for myself. I went years without the need to "trip". And even now, it's nothing that I want to do very often. But I do belive that our body/soul speaks to us. We know thru experience if we need to trip or not. I belive that there are times that a good trip can help us understand what is really going on in our lifes. Thats nothing like what hard narcotics do to people.
Just dont forget the lessons that you have learned. If tripping has allowed you to see how to better yourself then you have got all that you can from it.
Take care,
Jammer

If you use entheogens as tools, then yes they can only take you so far. Any tool can only take you so far and only help you to a certain degree. In the end it is up to you and you alone to finish the journey.
I gotta say, pc, that your post is inspirational to me. Thank you.

god I feel like such a tripping novice compared to the likes of Psilocybe Cubensis and Murple and everyone ... A lot of people are reaching the door and opening it, but I am still stuck in the hallway (but in a good way)
Hendrix made the mistake of tripping so much that he grew tired of it and took 5 hits just to relax.
Barrett took so much acid that he just completely fried his brain. He never got through the door.
Having only done 2 acid trips and about 7 mush trips (and a few other trips like DXM and such) I feel I have a very long way to go before I get to the point Cubensis has. I wish him the best, and though i do feel sad, I think he has taken it as a good thing. One day I hope to also get to that point, but not anytime soon. I might stop my use of mushrooms due to how little I really get out of them (I more often than not get quite bored, resulting in a bad trip where I just have nothing to do and nothing special to see) but if I can finally get acid I will most definitely start real journeys. Overall, AciD is my favorite drug, no holds barred. I can't wait to get some more.
Psilocybe I hope you join us sometime again in the future, at least to tell us how you are doing. You've been great on the BB and we will all miss you

shrooms are the shit!!!! i did the exact same thing that you did. i always used to hear stories about guys that took alot of shrooms and then went sober. i personally met two of these people, and i am doing a similiar thing. one guy took 3/4 a half once and thought he died, so he dont shroom no more. another guy took a half once and doesnt do drugs anymore. i took 1/3 once and i dont do crazy shit no more. this doesnt include weed and alchohal. i have already gone through the "crazy stage" with weed so im cool with getting stoned now, and there truely is nothing wrong with getting drunk. i just need to stay away from the shrooms and acid, and i never did any other drugs besides shrooms acid weed and alchohal so i dont have to worry bout that. i was going to give away my spores and such but i didnt want to drag it out. i would be making some people do the same thing as me and that isnt cool. shrooms really give you a slap in the face.
one plus one plus one equals three

One day you guys will all reach the point. I have been there for a while now. There comes a point to where you no longer learn anything new from your trips. I am only going to trip one more time and I am done..I am going to trip solo and take enough that I should reach ego death. Blu you are still beging your tripping, 7 times is not alot you still may have a while to enjoy your trips. I have tripped 25-30 times. Tripping is some what like meditation. When you first begin to mediate you become enlightened and are bombarded with pure thoughts and beauty. As you go further into meditation soon you begin to see sorrow and pain. It is like you must be shown the ultimate beauty before you can handle the unlimate evil, but it is necessary to know both...take care and enjoy tripping ;)

Damn this thread is painfully true............... I also agree that u can go so far and then it comes time to make that big choice, wich some of us face every trip hehe. Any ways I have a good and kinda sad story, about 3 months ago I was tripping with my friend ( his second time) we both took 3.5 grams. And this guy is a pot head as was I ( were talkin smokin 2 times daily) He had no job, no money, he wasn't happy with himself,( ur thinkin why would he do this ????? right??) before the trip ,thats why he smoked so much, to ease family probs, depression. But to save a long story, after the trip he tossed his bud kicked the habbit, stoped doing any kind of drug, got a job and is know doing unbelievably(sp) well. So in reality I personally think it was good for him. The sad thing about this story is I lost my best friend of 16 years in one night, wich was prolly some of my fault, he felt he needed to clean himself of every defilment(sp), or everything that would hinder or bring him down in life.. Its not that I wasn't a good trip sitter, so much that it opened his eyes to what he realy was ( and no I'm not saying everyone who smokes or does drugs is stupid or dumb) I'm just saying it takes different amounts of time with different people. I still trip, about 3-4 times a year, And I know I will eventually quit. But right now I know I'm happy,I have a job( not the best but hey )
and I have good friends and family. But any way PC if ur still here I have so much respect for u and understand whats up. SoI wish u the best of luck on the journey my friend...............

we spend so much time setting goals, and striving for them, that by the time we reach the goals we realise we no longer have the same goals now as we did when we set them. As so much time and effort was put into reaching these goals, we missed the main part of it all, the journet, the experiance of getting to the goals. The goals in themselves are somewhat irrevalant compared to how you got there, the journey.
"Nothing is forever... that?s the beauty of things. Things that aren't forever are more valuable. "
Thats a really nice sentence, maybe some won't get it, understand it right now, maybe some never will, maybe i have misunderstood what you meant, but that is irrevelant. I know what that means to me and how it will shape me.
I only just recently figured this out for myself, been too busy striving for goals and missing the journey. Luckily i realised whilst still young, and can enjoy the journey of life.
Things aren't forever, and will end, in a few years time i doubt i will be the same, and taking shrooms are the last thing in the world i want to do. But i will always remember the time when i was younger and that person did want to. And maybe i will look back and remember, and try it again.

I havn't chosen to trip in a /very/ long time, mostly because unlike Hunter S. Tompson, I do have the sense that I can do more with drugs than without them. This doesn't mean that I think the mental state is irrelevant to other people, just that after experiencing pychedelics on the occasions that I have, I feel as though I have warred with my ego to the point where I feel at balance with the world - no longer disconnected, no longer afraid, no longer the person I was.
But then again, that might just be adolecence, some would argue that, though I think they may only be scraping the surface.
What I guess is my concern is if you have taken any spirituality /away/ from the experiences, or if all of your spirituality was locked up /within/ them. I do not think there is much of a chance of that, considering what I've read, but I do know people who have fallen victim to this ego-trap. And having done so, they have erased and destroyed whatever 'good' was done through their tripping - just turning their backs onto what they've seen - dismissing it as a 'phase' or a 'delusion'. Going back to the 'real' world in this case is the same as letting ego blossom again. Not that there is anything inherently wrong with that, sometimes seeing after being blind for so long is frightening (or vise-versa).
I guess that is the door everyone keeps alluding to in a vauge sort of way...spirituality in general. The universal spirituality that is codified and fragmented by the entities of religion as they try to make it available to everyone by reducing it - dumbing it down - for mass consumption. Does the essential spiritual nature of the world just slip away when you stop? Do you want it to? Is it just a passing fancy which lets you related to chicks and was a good way to get laid? Every door seems to have these sorts of judgements locked up along the threshold. What these judgements are are self-judgements. You have to answer them yourself, figure out if this mythical door is something you wholly want to step through. Not everyone will; more not than will, infact. There isn't right and wrong in this case...at least...not from this side of the door.
