What's the downside to Mushrooms?

Well, I know this stuff won't kill you or anything.. but I had a phase for a few years where I used to smoke alot. I thought it was fine, weed was the best, and I couldn't imagine anything being wrong with it. In the past few months, I realized it was killing my motivation, i was very paranoid in the dark, and etc. After almost a month of being sober, I feel a lot better, am doing better in the gym and etc.
I am wondering about the dark side of shrooms before I get into it. I tripped once so far, it started off rough but in the end it was great. The next few days I felt more put together and sharpened up. am feeling a lot different now too. I realized this stuff has a strong psychedelic/psychological effect, and am starting to wonder what is the bad side to it. there has to be, i just want to know what it is.
thanks

there isn't a bad side to them if you use them properly
don't do massive doses and keep it to monthly/bi-monthly use
if you want to be stupid, you could risk psychological trauma

It would have some effect on most people. Try it.
As for downsides, it is possible to discover truths about life you were happier not knowing. Perhaps during a trip you realize how awful certain aspects of civilization are (child abuse, war, torture) and you can't accept it. Or maybe you conclude that you are all alone in the universe and everyone you know is just a construct of your mind.
Psychedelic experiences can change the way you view the world, for better or worse, and you can't go back.

Yup... Sometimes ignorance is bliss, and shrooms on the right day at the right time can make you see things in a way you never did before.
They can be lifechanging.

You can love it so much and trip yourself out. It's what I did.
Taking them weekly was doing so much to me that I didn't realize psychologically. My last 10 trips were all bad.
I will not take them again untill next june.

They can make you way too aware of the strange ass patterns that comprise your thoughts. Sleeping at night in silence takes on new meaning when you have been as in touch with your thoughts as a good mushrooms dose makes you. Not that it's a bad thing, but sometimes its kind of off-setting when you just want to ignore your own brain.

mushrooms are beautiful just be prepared for them a half eight is a good dose for first timers ive had plenty of good trips on half eights. They kinda make u zone out to ur own thoughts and its kinda dissociative.. atleast to me.. be ready and enjoy it

i think it really comes down to how you use them and your state of mind. you should only use them about once a month at the most. but i think less is better. and when you decide to use make sure youre in the right state of mind... meaning youre in a positive mind state. even then theres a possibility of having some negative effects but it all has to do with your consciouness and life. to me mushrooms and psychedelics allow you to really dig through everything that is you and your mind and its not the mushrooms that cause negative effects; its you. you can avoid that by having good setting and everything but if there are problems in your life regardless it will let you know. i dunno, i think every experience no matter if its good or bad is ultimately a good experience because you can learn from it.
now if you have underlying psycological conditions, or a history of family illness, then that could always be a problem as well. although many people who have a history of family illness still are able to use without ill effects. but otherwise just be careful and be positive. try to deal with any problems in your life and your emotions and all the knowledge you learn and the growth you attain in your life will aid in having better trips.

Triggering underlying mental illnesses and problems that might not have arose had you not taken psychedelics. Another one is HPPD which can occur in chronic users, but I have experienced mild HPPD/flashbacks, (call it whatever you want) and I am not one in the least bit.
And yes, HPPD does exist to some extent.

They can make you realize the material world is just a bunch of crap. You may sell all your possessions and move into the forest in an attempt at being in harmony with nature. Just a warning

I've read shitloads of stories where somebody ate mushrooms and then flipped out all gaylike on their friends. I bet mushrooms have forced more than a few homosexuals in denial to face their true selves.

They may allow any given hetero male to accept that they are sometimes PHYSICALLY attracted to underage girls, and thats ok?.............lol
Hows bout that one you repressed ninnys. Just kidding....
Example: Ya that 15- year old next door is too young for me to find her to be hot as hell, so I wont find her to be hot as hell.
That one always irritates the most repressed dudes. You may sound weird, but atleast you aint a liar.........lol
Just kidding, I didnt need psychedelics to accept what human sexuality is made of. For some people, psychedelics might help them from becoming some tight knot of self control and bullshit responses is what im saying.

I think a good cock and balls is kinda nice looking.....lol
Im not a female, and it arouses me to some degree. Just like how your 12 year old sister arouses me.
Sorry you never have had the chance to not be something other than some normal and boring sexual creature due to sociological norms.
Im straight as an arrow, but I also think men can be pretty arousing if I choose to venture there. I understand where the womens are coming from....lol still, I just am drawn to women.
Sorry, but I understand this element of homosexuality, but I still did look at your sisters ass.............Too young to illicit sexual arousal, I guess............not I dont care about what anyone thinks. I think sexuality knows no boundaries, and I caught your sisters ass in my peripheral vision, and enjoyed it. I dont care how old she was. Im a fuggin caveman. I dont repress this sort of shit.
Good luck homophobes. You have better things to worry about.....lol
dont let society dictate your sexuality, cause well, then you have been fucked by someone much more corrupt than you, and thats sad.
Sorry about your 12 year old sister. I have no real interest in her.

I'm a lesbian on the inside.
I really mean that, I went to school for a semester dressed as a girl, and I used to want to get a sex change before I decided it would probably be a negative influence on my life overall. This went on for several years. That having been said, I continue to identify more with women than men on the whole and I feel that I probably have a feminine spirit, and I still sometimes go with my (actually female) friends for girls' nights out.
Never felt attracted to men, though, shroomed out or not. I've always been attracted to women. Testosterone makes my mind funky though, and sometimes I have a really fucking hard time reconciling my very male sex drive with my desire not to objectify my female friends. This gave me a horrible shroom trip once, though it mostly played out over this forum and not with any of my personal friends.
Shrooms didn't cause this at all, it was going around in my head at least two years before I even tried shrooms for the first time.
Wanna make fun of me?

the problem is that you became the girls "best friend" and they will allways see you as their friend and nothing more, and when u get a male sex drive then your confused with it. Best thing to do Tchan909 is to IV some tostosterone so you will be manlier and just take one of your girl friends and tap that azz!
You can prolly do it if your both high on some good mary jane, i always find it to be a fun drug to be on while having sex. If she doesent wana smoke some then just get her a hash brownie or something

The mushroom by itself is not gay. However once ingested the chemical compound mimics a neuro transmitter called "Faggotonin" which is responsible to all gay acts and thoughts. The next day the very first symptoms that will occur are:
-Increase in visual color (especially the color pink and orange). -Having the muscles in your wrist go mostly numb, causing your hands to flap downwards most of the time. -Adams Apple shrink causing a rather feminine sound every time you speak. -An increase in fashion sense. -Smaller testicles -A complete flip in sexual attraction. -You will quit your job, and pursue a career as a wedding planner.
