shrooming with a cold?

I have planned on doing shrooms with some close friends back home this weekend (i'm away at college) but i'm starting to get a cold. I'm doing everything i can to try and avoid getting sick but i'm not sure if will work or not. I'm sure i won't get too sick but i don't kow if i will be able to have a good experience if i have to deal with a runny nose all night.
The question is if I have a cold should i still do the shrooms? Will I have a bad trip if i'm sick?
Has anyone ever done shrooms when they have had a cold and can give me some advice?

I have done shrooms twice while I had a cold (both times in amsterdam) and I found it quite enjoyable and when I came down I didnt have a cold anymore or at least I couldnt tell. It wasnt a really bad cold though, just sort of runny nose, sluggish feeling.

i don't think you'll have much of a problem. At worse you'll have a nagging case of the sniffles all night, but then again...YOU'LL BE TRIPPING. i've found that i can't even feel nagging things like that when tripping, but i don't know what kinda stuff you're getting these days, so who knows...

oddly enough, mushrooms clear my sinuses. I'm allergic to cats, and I've tripped at a friend's house (who has a cat) with a clear nose, while every other time I was there I had the sniffles.
Maybe it's just me though

During, you'll be fine. Afterwards, you'll be feeling the effects of the exertion. It can be done, just be sure to drink a good amount of water and take some vitamins before the post-trip sleep, and don't complain too much when shit sucks for a few days longer.
And if it's the sinus infection/lung butter i (and everyone else around here) has caught, you DO NOT want to do it. THis shit is bad enough, long enough, that there is no need to exacerbate it.

I saw this thread and thought to myself... why would I trip with a cold, why wouldn't I wait? Surely theres some reason I'd do it? Ah... there it is. Being in amsterdam and being worried that I'd have to leave without eating *store bought* mushrooms in a neat little package.

Yes, had I been at home I would have waited.

Normaly I'd say wait, but if you're really just in the early stages of a cold, and you're not really in any actual pain from it (sore throat, etc) I'd say do it, just so you could say "I went to Amsterdan, and I tripped balls!". Just be willing to accept the fact that there's a good chance you'll wish you hadn't afterwards, but then again, life is as we remember it, have fun tripping and go home sick, and you'll still be able to look back on it and remember the fun parts.
Then again, if you're got the cold I'm just about done with then this could REALLY not work out for you, this cold seemed to develope pretty fast, full body muscle soreness accompanied by what was honestly the worst headache I've ever had, if you have the same one I do (HIGHLY unlikely, but it is going around and a lot of people here have it) then you'll be glad to know that it only lasts a couple days.
Anyways, I'd do it sooner than later, your cold will only disappear or get worse, I wouldn't count on the first one so much...
Godd luck, and tell us how it goes.

I remember I asked the same question like two and a half weeks ago and everyone told me not to do it and I ended up taking their advice. What's with the sudden change of oppinion?

One of the two times I've taken mescaline I had a nasty cold going in. When I was through tripping, the cold was gone!

Just an FYI for everyone, Anti-hystamines(cold medication, claratin, etc...) interfere with magic mushrooms, and vice-versa... this means if you wanna have a mushroom trip dont use anti-hystamines; and if you wanna take that claratin cause your stuffed up dont expect it to work if you've taken mushrooms...
