I'm still alive from doing just that. I think I might have sold my soul to the devil in the process, but I'm still alive.
The story just makes no sense. Never have I ever read another report of someone overdosing/dieing from too much Psilocybin/Psilocin ect. It doesn't say they did a chemical analysis on the man after his death, an autopsy report.. even if they did, Psilocybin basically leaves your body within hours of eating them.. possibly leaving only trace amounts to be found in testing (this is just off the top o my head).
I've never heard of anyone overdosing on LSD either (i dont think). People like Syd Barrett and Robert Hunter probably used to eat thousands of hits at a time possibly, even people who IV insane dosages of LSD come back alive.
My guess is this guy overdosed on something else.

Plenty of people (relatively speaking) have eaten an ounce. I know some of them personally. You come back. Well, most of you anyways.
If anything you come back with extra parts. Quite a ride.

Ya no shit. You at the very least cant say you have seen that place before. It all starts from there.
My highest dose was 14 grams and that is just fucking ridiculous, just like 7 grams is in a way. I was young, bold, not capable of seeing the whole, and most importantly I was capable of taking that much and having alot of it cancelled out by my young age(17 years old). I mean, it was mind blowing for about 30 hours, but nothing like what it would do to my more evolved state of mind at the age of 24.
In my experience, the dumber folks just need more to even see visuals. This fact for me goes around the clock, and if you think about it, this might make just make sense to you too.
The highest dosers I know are the ones most serious about psychedelics, ORRRRR the ones too fuggin simple to see anything useful in there and they just get stupid, drunk, damn near delerious, and have a great fucking time being on a psychedelic leash for a good many hours(sorry trip sitter, didnt mean to piss in my own refrigerator). I think its fitting/cool that most people prefer the middle ground, and get alot out of it. Those people like me, may actually have a reason to take even 10 grams one day, which is a fucking insane thing to do if your cubes are good.
I have never seen anyone eat an O........I dont dont plan to be around when some person treats their brain like shit in that way.
It would actually make me kinda sad that they didnt get much out of it sooner, and that they are fucking with their brain without knowing where they are going in the first place. If that type of person is lucky, they wont get anywhere and just black out and run into furniture for about 8-10 hours with a sitter present.
24 grams is for true psychonauts, and truely ridiculous people. You are one or the other when you make the decision to fuck with your one and only organic brain in that way.
You could give me any amount of money and I would not take 28 grams. Money means almost nothing to me. I cant enjoy my money if I fucked myself over with such confusion and permanent effects that I cant grasp just yet. I have only used 14 grams one time and dont need to do that again. It was less amazing than 7 grams. Cheers to those who have a reason to do it beyond pushing their own limits. If you are doing that dose only for yourself, yer fucked. You need to give the millions of little nodes of information some credit, and give them something in return......lol
There is some crazy shit out there, but the majority of people who wont take less than 5 grams just dont see things the same way. To them, 3.5 grams is for a fucking party or something.
Excess, Excess, Excess............. Your desired recreational dose says alot about you.
Im not crazy, I just know that this is true among the people I have known over the years. If you want to treat mushrooms like weed or alcohol, then be my guest, and you can probably take more than people who have a deeper understanding and a set of psychedelic overminds that just put that sort of abuse to shame(and at a much lower dose). You may have simply been prone to doing that, because you didnt see anything else in there. A self-fulfilling prophecy of sorts.
Good luck with any dose you take. Just dont treat your brain like shit. It might make you just simply less virtuous, and less capable if you abuse these psychedelics. Im not calling that karma, im just saying that this is what karma is made of.
Its all paridoxical. You could be one of those people who is not careful with your brain and you find things that benifit you greatly.
Good luck high dosers..........I cant give enough cautionary tales unless I spent alot of time explaining how these drugs actions depend on the people who take them.

Griggs ate an insane amount of Psilocybin. I believe it was from Sandoz, but Nick Sand or Tim Scully may have synthesised it on the Brotherhood of Eternal Love's Ranch.
As I recall the story, Griggs ate an undetermined, but ridiculously excessive amount of Psilocybin, went into his tent, shouted to another Brother, "If you want to trip, take acid. The Psilocybin's a total overdose." He also insisted that what happened would be between him and God, but eventually the decision was made to take him to a hospital. I think he died on the way there or just after getting to the hospital.
I'm sure I got a lot of details wrong. John Griggs, founder of one of the greatest groups of the Psychedelic Revolution. Great man, in my opinion.

I had a half ounce left one night after my buddy ate and i had an 1/8th out of that. Two hours later i was having the most beautiful trip and i said fuck it and decided to eat more. I finished the bag over a 6 hour period and eating in 3 sittings. I felt like shit for about 2 days from not sleeping ( think MDMA hangover ) It was great, but ive never wanted to do it again.

Well, you can overdose on just about anything if you take too much of it so it doesn't surprise me

This thread and the linked article inspired me to look it up.
The only reference I have is a copy of Acid Dreams by martin lee and bruce shalin.
On page 248, the book recounts the death of John Griggs, and attributes his death to an overdose of PCP!
Psilocybin isn't mentioned in the story. However, the story does mention his attitude that it is 'just between me and god.'
I wonder what the truth is...

The "From Flower Power to Hippy Mafia" book claims it was Psilocybin, but who knows? A damn shame in any case.

Well, since psilocybin isn't really known to have a lethal dose, it seems more likely that it was PCP.

Don't hate me Yageman because of my avatar. I don't make fun of the girl holding a sitar (or whatever the fuck she's holding) in your avatar, right? It's because I don't give a fuck about you or your avatar. My life does not revolve around a message board and things like this are done strictly for the fun of it. BTW - it's a clip from the movie "Freaks" and also a staple of the Ramones. This "avatar should be a reflection of oneself" B.S. is as stupid as the avatar itself. So hopefully you wont lose sleep over it anymore. Okay, champ?
Back on topic - I ordered that book about the hippie mafia. Hopefully they go into depth about what happened to him.
Thanks for the input - I love getting other peoples thoughts on shit like this.

Of course Psilocybin has a lethal dose. It's just far higher than you'd be likely to take. The Brotherhood of Eternal Love book shouldn't disappoint you, but a few minor facts are wrong, so maybe they got the Psilocybin part wrong.
It's an amazing story of the transformative power of LSD and the mystical experience. The latter end of the story isn't so happy, but I won't ruin it for you, though you probably already know the basics.
Lies about avatars not representing who we are. Next you'll be trying to claim that I'm not actually John Lennon, or that wowitch isn't a hand with some mushrooms in it.

First, considering that the chemical structure of psiloc(yb)in is much closer to that of seretonin than LSD, and considering that LSD is virtually non-lethal, I'm willing to bet that psiloc(yb)in is even safer!
Second, if various people who have experienced thumbprint doses have returned to reality (such as it is), then I would think that someone tripping on a large dose of shrooms would come back as well.
The person in question who supposedly died .. I think he died from a heart attack due to extreme mental shock, the same way someone might die from the shock of falling a long distance, before they even hit the ground.
This is not in any way an endorsement to start doing massive large doses, but I would state with confidence that "normal" doses are perfectly safe.

If you ate weak shrooms like Pelliculoas, you would start getting really high way before you overdosed.

I'm hoping the book is good. I read "Storming Heaven" not long ago and found it a little on the side. It started out on a roll but I didn't like the authors writing style. He was a little long-winded on some of the subjects.
You most likely have heard of this already but here is a link to a trailer for a documentary that's coming out in the future about the "brotherhood". Looks really good! Orange Sunshine

Speaking of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love, anyone have the link to the YouTube video of an interview with a surfer dude associated with the Brotherhood? I saw it about a years ago but cant find it now. I'm not talking about the 11 minute trailer for the upcoming documentary on the Hippie Mafia. This was a dated mini-doc and I remember reading in the Youtube comments that one of the surfers that was in the video doing yoga and other meditation was a member of the Brotherhood.
If somebody could post the link for me I would be forever obliged. thanks!

I'm pretty sure this is mentioned in Storming Heaven. It said he was poisoned (but at the same time very high) by incorrectly synthesized psilocybin from an underground chemist. As in your version it mentioned a tent and the line "this is between me and God". I make no claims as to the accuracy of the Storming Heaven version but it's one of those anecdotes that always stuck in my mind.

I think it is an issue of proper preparation (tea) and stomach soothin liquids (beer) to prevent sickness, like throwing up. Other than that, it just comes down to some people being able to deal with being out of their minds more than others. Sometimes the high doses are apparently more fun or worthwhile. Some people can managing ingesting these high doses through tea/ lemon, beer, xanax pill mixtures that make everything all right, if not comfortable 100% of the time. The trouble w/ shrooms vs LSD is that LSD last so much longer that you can eventually paint or write or something , but by then end of a proper shroom trip, it's hard to muster the strength. Oh, and YES, the shrooms ingested to test this theory were allegedly of very high quality! Of course, I wouldn't know...
Edit; my apologies, I'm not eve sure if I'm really on topic here.
