i feel that mushrooms are indeed sacred, back to wat that one guy was saying about how shrooms have that chemical that gives it no benefit, i think its simply for people. i feel god put shrooms on the earth for people to use and i take full advantage of it
people say that u only use 10% of your brain, well i bet when u use mushrooms, that percentile raises dramatically. i think shrooms help unlock parts of your brain that u can not do sober thats why i love them. shrooms really make me think alot, i like just dosing and puting myself in complete silence and just think...when i do that i almost always think of something useful to use in my advantage of life, i almost always seem to learn a life lesson. i am a very ambitious perosn who loves to learn and gain knowledge about the world and my self especially every day, and shrooms are another way for me to do that. they also truly reveal to me that ANY ONE IN THIS WORLD CAN DO WATEVER THEY WISH,and anything is possible, u just have to work at it. ever since i did shrooms my first time, it gave me a whole new perspective on life and it made me truly appreciate wat i have and i should take advantage of that, thats another reason i rebirthed my passion for basketball, and i play everyday now
ok ne way im talkin to much but all in all, i see shrooms as a learning tool and knowing how thirsty i am for knowledge, im extremely thankful that god introduced me to true magic, mushrooms.

Humans need interaction, and we need laughter and 'to have fun', and can play an important role in being healthy. Hell, some of the benifits of laughing are.
* reduce stress, * lower blood pressure, * elevate mood, * boost immune system , * improve brain functioning, * protect the heart, * connect you to others, * foster instant relaxation, and * make you feel good.
So even if you are just using mushrooms to have a fun time with friends and laughing your asses off - it does provide benefit to the person. Relaxation, feeling good, protecting the heart, boosting the immune system.
Mushrooms (and many other, but not all psychedelics) tend to have a bit of a duel nature to them. With mushrooms, I find there is a bit of a 'heaven and hell', a very duel nature. One that is very fun and playful to them, and another that is very challenging and hard - to ignore one part of them and only focus on the other, is doing a bit of a discredit to the substance.
Yes, mushrooms and psychedelics are very powerful, and have alot of potential to be helpful and useful tools. But, they can also be very fun, and as long as a person is using them responsibly, even if recreationally - I dont see what the problem is.
Responsible, Recreational and Respectfull use are not exlusive from eachother.
You can have fun and show respect at the same time, I agree. My problem is with people who disrespect power plants. People who do it to get "fucked up." Those people usually "get fucked up" in the end, and I cant say I feel sorry for them. They may be fun but they are not toys.

Just from the way the thread maker's friend explains these drugs, he seems like he has no damn clue what he is talking about.
"Taking Mushrooms = you get stupid". Well that is a VERY stupid comment, so his statement has atleast some relevence.
If you get freaked out and act like a tweak-ball everytime you shroom, or if you like to just get all fucked up on them, you can bet your ass you will find yourself in a very weird place one day. SOmewhere you could easily define as stupid. In my harsh opinion your friend didnt know, and still knows NOTHING, about mushrooms.
That is just sad. I dont blame him though, he just needed to fuckin grow up first. Hallucinogens are not a toy, or a substitute for getting all fucked up on alcohol. It really does just make me sad. I dont want to say they are really that stupid, so usually in this case I would bring up their drug history, upbringing, and the level of adult-like consciousness they possess, and sadly some people have such an inability to understand these drugs, I would even want to mention genetics.

well I'm glad to hear almost everyone respects and learns from shrooms as do i and as i had imagined it wouldn't fry my brain as long as i used common sense
my friend wasnt disrespecting mushrooms he was saying "yes they are beautiful but ive seen too many ppl go stupid from it so i only do it like twice a year" And he implied that its nothing more than a drug that makes u feel like ur learning something but was not the case it really just killing ur brain and was more bad than good
i feel that shrooms can TEACH A LOT if u listen and that most of what my friend said was not true so i felt the need to post and see how others felt
love peace and harmony Isaac

I fully agree, that is where the responsible vs irresponsible use comes in. If your taking them to 'just get fucked up', and act like an ass on them and blame it on the shrooms/etc - that is bad. Then again, I think taking any drug (psychedelic or not) just to get 'as fucked up as possible' is a bad thing.
