Me either, BUT when I do mushrooms, I feel a great deal more realeaved for a few days or more and can be a helpful thing in a stressful environment all day. Now, I'm writing a biology paper on psilocybin mushrooms and want to see if OTHERs can say that hey, thats the effect I get from it, becuase I cant just say that I got those effects can I? Lol. Anyways, I want to see what areas to pursue in createing positive leverage in favor of the Psilocybin mushroom. Hope you guys can help me out. Anyone want to help me out? Thx all to who voted. If you post down the bottom of the poll about your case of use habits for research purposes, I'll give you 5 shrooms to your rateing Thanks all!

If you are using mushrooms to relieve stress/ease negative thoughts, you accidentally took the wrong drug.

Mushrooms relieve stress, but I don't think people use them specificially to treat it. It's not something you can use often enough to treat stress, and usually tripping when under stress isn't the best idea. Mushrooms cause stress through the trip, at least temporarily. The only medicinal use I have had from mushrooms is some moderate improvement of OCD behavior and germphobias.
Plus, this sort of survey is not credible to use in a research paper. Is the answer your looking for that people usually use shrooms recreationally/religiously and occassionally for medicinal purposes?

Yeh that is a good point
after a powerful trip you are probably going to feel very relieved, like getting an A plus on a test you were fretting about all week. You'll just feel good.
But taking mushrooms specifically to relieve stress is a slippery slope, and may have you feeling worse off than when you started. (EX: I've got a test that i need to study for and this class is very stressfull, hey i got an idea, ill eat some mushies to take a load off) not a good idea :]

Unless you're into shamanism, why would you consider using shrooms for medical use? No state allows this.
I certainly wouldn't use shrooms to relieve stress - that's what booze is for! No, I use shrooms to expand my consciousness. It's well known that you should be without stress or anxiety before you start your trip in the first place.

I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear. SO, I wasnt saying that 'Hey, I have to live through this? Lets eat some shrooms and feel better'. It was more like 'Do YOU take mushrooms, with the intent of knowing that after you could feel alot more "humbled" as one user put it. You know what I mean? Maybe not.. Just nvm.. Iv you don't get the question, don't feel obligated to answer that one.

Experimenting with low doses can be interesting. After a while, it can even make you think that anything above a "breakthrough" dose seems like an overdose. (all depends on ones perspective)
Combinations with different substances is actually pretty fun and rewarding. Even if the other substance is a generally weak acting one. Most recent experiment was 1 and a half ps. cyans(two stems and a cap) with 60mg of pseudoephedrine. That dose of Cyans can be substituted for about 5-8 liberty caps. The effects are very amphetamine like. Very positive mood. Elation, and happiness. Lots of mental activity. Lasts for about 2 hours. Relatively no come down.There can be anxiety that can be quelled with approx 12oz of a fermented beverage. Sleep arrives much later though
I think there is a tremendous amount to be explored with psiloc(yb)in. I don't feel that it should be treated as a chemical to take people completely out of their heads. I love the powerful experiences of full blown mushroom experiences, but there is a lot more to these little fungi. So, yes mushrooms can relieve stress. But, getting to the root of the stress is the best way to relieve stress.

It's good you point out the religouse point of mushrooms, as I have read alot that mushrooms were a spiritual sacrament for a religion or two correct?

Holy pancake?! I want to know how your doing it and what happens for the record lol. You thinking along the same thing as thumb print of LSD but with psilocybin? I think that would be RIDICULOUS! How you gonna eat 2 pounds of shrooms at once? Or.. Are you going to eat them straight for like... 5 days or so so you keep tripping hard balls and then you prolly wouldn't come down for like... another 3-4 days and you'd prolly never be the same, like you your self stated you wished to achieve lol. Maybe I'm just dipping into the big blue too much..
