One Liner Answer: They only lose their magic if you have lost yours.
In all reality, all the things you can learn from shrooms (any psychedelic really) can be learned through other ways (I.E. Meditation, active meditation, interactig and appreciating people, ect...) Shrooms let many people experience what they think or know to be true, before even ingesting them (For example my brother and time dilation) so for a lot of people they are amazing in that respect. That is one of my reasons.

DebuteMachine,
You know, I think there can come a point where one get's the message and doesn't need to trip anymore. You feel pretty most of the time and more high without drugs and it's like all mushrooms will do is just be alot of intensity that maybe you don't really need.
I'm not quite there myself, but I do think once your eyes have been opened you probobly don't need to go back. It's only a vehicle.
Then again, you can always learn something new, and every trip is different. I also think, that maybe once the honeymoon is over that is when you can get the most out of tripping, when you see it as no more than a tool. It's not the end all, be all.

Wrong. It was an excuse to clean my room to help me have an area to bring a girl to bed. I thank the mushrooms god for that insight. But doing them? ESP is awesome, but I already believe in it without their aid.
Do you guys understand where I'm coming from? My cakes have been birthed for a week now, and I just don't know if I should go through with it. All of this was my own choice, no pressure.
I was the same way... I spent over $500 into my setup and everything. When my jars started to grow I threw everything away. I know I lost all that money and all the time I spent into it but its for the better...

long as its not hindering your life than its basically an evening of deep meditation.
if you do it, sit and reflect on how your life's changed in the last 2 years. think of your present life, then how you can strengthen it. go into it with zero doubt and it is sure to be amazing. but if your worried theirs no point... then you've gained all you can from it, so move on.

i say keep them in the freezer, until you feel ready.
but i think you should atleast consider doing them again, if you dont like it, you never have to touch them again. if you do, you rediscovered an amazazing thing.

All life is composed of is health, wealth, and love. Shrooms don't increase any of that.
You mean your life, right? Obviously there are people to whom wealth is meaningless. I bet some of them have even cleaned their rooms anticipating guests without having to invent elaborate pretexts to tidy up a bit. Also, keep in mind, some people, no matter how many times they trip on all sorts of chemicals still wind up being no better off as far as 'enlightenment' (I hate to use that word because it's so broadly defined and brashly debated) is concerned. Anyway, there's no way to really tell if psychedelics have done you any good in the past or will do you any good in the future. Since health, wealth, & love seem to be what's most important, you could obviously sell your farmed shrooms (though I'd never reccommend breaking laws) to folks to accumulate wealth and attract a golddigger type sexy wife who shares your values and loves you for who you are. Best of luck, brother!

mushrooms make you tighten up, or rather, influence you to get on your game. If you don't do that, it's my opinion that they stop working with you until you get doing what you should be doing.
They don't do the self improvement for you, you have to do your part...
You do yours, they'll do theirs.

What are you doing on the shroomery? It's a drug-den... Sounds like you are in the wrong place.

I don't know that I would call the shroomery a "drug-den". But yeah, it definitely seems like this guy made a wrong turn somewhere IF he's even for real.
mheyer, mushrooms do increase love and for you to say that they don't proves that you know nothing about anything. Stop wasting everyone's time.
EDIT: Just realized mheyer didn't say that. The OP did. My mistake. I'm all fucked up here.

everything you've ever felt was chemicals in your brain.
Edit: to the original poster...
I would take about a cut of them if you think you are prepared. Set everything aside for a night, and look over what you've been thinking. If you don't enjoy it, then either take a break from your mushrooms, or sell them off to friends, or better yet, give them to friends.
I would do them with a close friend you have though, because that always makes it more fun. If you are trying to transition back into the mushrooms, then it would be easier with a partner, I can almost garentee that. Maybe thats just me talking, but i think it would make it much more enjoyable.

Cube talk: Agreed.
However I think I see where you are coming from DebuteMachine. Ill share my ideas on this.
I havent eaten shrooms since I left the U.S. two years ago. I recently got some prints from a friend, and started a grow. Spawned to bulk outdoors, and just a few days ago, harvested a few large-ish shrooms at first flush.
Now Ive dried them. Thing is, I dont feel the need to eat them. Its not that I will or wont, its that I dont care.
I think that patience is a great teacher. I have decided that I will let the shrooms tell me when to use them (if they in fact do).
I plan to introduce my girlfriend to them if she is interested, but otherwise I am just going to let things be till whenever. And when I do get to speak with them again, Im sure itll be interesting.

I'm glad that after only being on here for a couple months you feel like you know so much about a bunch of people you've never even met.
Ingesting shrooms is good... for me. Maybe it's not for you.
All I'm trying to say is that trying to convert people to the way you feel, mheyer, is not gonna win you any friends on here. By all means, speak your mind. Share how you feel. Just don't be condescending.

hm, i wouldn't do them then. why force your self to do some thing you don't want to do ? i would give it one last shot, get in a really good mood so its a good trip and then make your decision. if you don't want to any more give them to a friend who will use them

DebuteMachine said: Its been two years since I've done them. And after a lot of thinking (I've been growing my own, which aren't finished yet) I'm wondering if I should even do them. Whats the point of revisiting the past?
of course you should, if you can get the set and setting right then definitely go for it.
