Shrooms help me in school!

It really seems that since I started doing mushrooms fairly regularly my mental clarity and stimulation is back on the rise. I find interest in classes that were only requirments (the college gen ed group) and absorb information with a breeze.
Also a long time friend of mine as noticed the same benefits with LSD, only difference is he took acid for the first time when he was in 7th grade and ever since then he has been a straight A studen high school and up and he always says it was the acid that got me through school (mind you he has only done acid one other time and it was this year, a year out of high school).
Well just wondering if anyone else has seen a boost in intellect or care for education after the use of hallucinogens, specifically but not limited to shrooms/LSD?

Back when I was taking LSD on a regular basis I had a photographic memory.
I've ruined it though by lots and lots of drinking.
I found LSD to always make my mind much sharper. I don't get the same effect with shrooms though.

I've always wanted to get some LSD after my friends great experience but alas where I live that seems just about impossible (what little IS sold is definately not LSD... Damn RCs)

Dude if i look back at my self before taking shrooms. I will look like some fucking retarded zombie.
My life just went completely upside down in a good way after about 4th trip.
And school wise i think i had same intellectual level but my brain was working differently and i had different purpose which definitely improved my marks.

Mushrooms do help expand your mind and help with thinking. I do agree it can help make you wiser. I'm only saying that I found the effects on memory were far more profound with LSD, this is only my experience. May be different for anyone else.

It's not that I was a mental zombie, I have always been a straight A intellectual person my entire life but, during high school (end of 10th grade and up) when smoking weed was habitual for me I became lethargic to learning and keeping up with things. My grades were still good but suffered some, from As to low Bs, and it has been this way for a while until I started shrooming more.

LSD and Math don't go well together, at least for me.
But, I do see how it has made me think differently which can be helpful for some courses, but not all.

LSD fries my brain, but Psilocybin, whose chemical structure is similar to that of serotonin, gets me up and going(barely threshold dose, not even). It acts sort of like a conterfeit serotonin for my brain, since I screwed my natural ability to produce it readily due to use of LSD, MDMA and all that stuff that affects and takes a toll on the serotonin. So I guess you could say I'm using drugs to fight drugs, sure beats being medicated. Plus, in addition to intellectual and energy levels rising, creativity levels rise as well.
Just don't overdo it.

I think there is a actual neurological reason for this. Psychedelics basically create road blocks between connected neurons if I am not mistaken, making neurons not normally used...used. This would encourage an increase in brain mass mylienation(sp?) of of more cells, thus making you smarter. I am probably wrong though.

I definitely know what you're talking about. After I do shrooms I feel so clear headed and feel so interested in my studies, but alcohol ruins it all. I drink a couple of times and all that goes away. I wish I could stop drinking, but it feels to good. oh well...alcohol is the devil

after going a year up until 2 days ago without tripping, I can honestly say my level of mental clarity sky rocketed (this was mushrooms). It was a low dose trip, but since then I have noticed an increased creative/intellectual drive in myself. It's pretty interesting to say the least.
I think I am going to only trip annually and use it as a sort of cleansing method

I noticed the same thing. I tripped the first time in 3 months last week(on LSD) and I noticed my thought processes working better, specifically on this trip I noticed the best after trip "afterglow" which made me smile the whole day after tripping

I havent tripped for more like 2 years, and I think it will be a few months before I have grown my own, but Id really like to see how this affects me.
When I was in school, I think I can agree, that it created some amount of inspiration to perform, and allowed much more creativity and "big brain" potential to use for papers and such.
I am expecting the same thing as you guys, but am still figuring out how much I should probably dose when I get back on the ride.

Psychedelics helped me in school, but a few of my friends became lethargic as a result of their use.
Different strokes.

When I did shrooms. For about a half a week after tripping i felt like there was nothing left to life except for school, good grades, and basically being completely sraight edge. But after that i went back to being my normal self: average grades(As,Bs,Cs) and smoking the potijuana
-------------------- This website is pretty cool. I am new to mushroom and really suck at identificicatin but i am hoping that you guys can help me!

Mushrooms and DMT make me feel 'fresh'. They do help me a lot in school. They will really help clear your brain....
