I am particularly interested in shrooms and MDMA. do they have physical damage on the mind? or will they mess up a mind that is still developing?

It has been shown MDMA causes brain damage in higher doses and in excess use. This consists of destruction of 5ht2 receptors. They get destroyed as serotonin is released and will grow back but only half ass. Shrooms do not cause any physical brain damage. I suggest using the search engine for more in depth information

Shrooms
Most e you find on the streets will not be just MDMA. So if you're going to try MDMA then be patient and find MDMA. If you're buying pressed pills that are all kinds of crazy colors and have all kinds of crazy names then you are most likely about to down an assortment of drugs along with a smidgen of MDMA. I bet you already knew that, but I'm amazed at how many friends i have that cant even fathom the amount of other drugs in their pills. Some are even cut with caffeine!! haha. Choose wisely my friend. unless you're in to that sort of random drug cocktail scene.

I guarantee you that no drug will physically damage your mind.
that being said...
www.erowid.org
they have a health section on MDMA and there is info on health under the Mushrooms FAQ, they don't have a dedicated health section for mushrooms. Probably because there is no need for one.
Erowid is always a great place to start for pretty much any substance, and they have tons of links and info.

Actually, since the mind is not physically manifest, you cannot physically harm it. Psychologically on the other hand.

Hey good call, I might be one toke over the line tonight.
Doesn't meth reduce tissue size? Or are you refering to the mind that exists outside of the brain?

I made a distinction between the mind and the brain. (they are two different things after all) But I was just being a smart ass.

MDMA is bad for the brain. effects dopamine/serotonin receptors and is proven to cause depression and destroy memory/concentration.
shrooms/lsd on other hand proven not to have any effects in heavy or long-term use. YAY

Drugs that will harm your brain physically are Meth, Alcohol and Inhalants, and Ketamine, PCP and DXM if you believe that Olney's lesions are real. Datura does not damage the brain physically, but mentally it can do....stuff.
MDMA will oxidize (burn) serotonin receptors, actually the dopamine that is being picked up by serotonin receptors because serotonin itself is depleted from the experience. You can counteract this damage with 5HTP, Vitamines B and C, and Magnesium, which will also make the comedown much more pleasant than it is. Some studies say that the damage is not permanent. Actually, this damage is the least danger of MDMA. Folks get screwed from mixing with other drugs (alcohol and uppers), dehydration, or, ironically, water intoxication.

I can vouche for the Dh-a-tur-a being very dangerous. 1 1/2 weeks in I.C.U at my local hospital when I was 18. To this day I still have Kidney problems.
