Are shrooms even worth doing?

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?

I'm not going to spew the because they "expand your mind" rhetoric. If you don't want to do them then don't. Theres no pressure. My best answer would simply be because the state of mind that they lend to you is extremely interesting.

Doesn't sound like you have a good history. And with that mind set, it doesn't sound like you'll enjoy yourself much. I'd say wait till you're excited and happy about doing them.

Thats what made me so excited and happy in the first place. But I like where I'm at now, and am willing to deal with all of life's problems. Doing shrooms isn't going to help me become any more of a man, or do my homework for me, or help me get a job.
All I have is my life and my death. All life is composed of is health, wealth, and love. Shrooms don't increase any of that.

Look. I used the excuse of "oh man I really want to grow shrooms!" to help me live under a healthier living style. I cleaned my room, fixed my bed, and made sure there was no mold. This was all so I could grow shrooms.
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.

There doesn't need to be a reason! Do them because they are there. Do them because they provide an evolutionary advantage. Do them because it is interesting to be under their influence. Do them to use your brain in different ways. It isn't selfish to take them so long as the time you are taking to experience them isn't interfering with any obligations you have in everyday reality.

There was a study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology about psilocybin in which the volunteers who took it had mystical-type experiences that they described "as having substantial personal meaning and spiritual significance and attributed to the experience sustained positive changes in attitudes and behavior". It was a well-done study, and if you are interested in reading the paper you can find it here:
http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/GriffithsPsilocybin.pdf
In my opinion a huge portion of life is composed of your outlook on it. It's possible that taking shrooms could alter that outlook in a very positive way. That being said, it's your body, your life, and you need to decide what is best for you to do with it!

ummm recreation? shrooms let you travel without ever leaving your backyard. it's like visiting another country except funnier. If your out of the spiritual aspect then you CAN use shrooms for pure recreation. just take less. however as others have said only YOU can decide. but for me shrooms are my second favorite recreation intoxicant next to marijuana.

Hahaha. Yes. They are worth doing. Just do them, and you will see. Your thought plays tricks on you over time, remember that.
Your sobriety is in a losing battle with your imagination. Only time will snap you back.

Gonna have to disagree there. Unless you dont feel any love when doing mushrooms. IMO they are a fun experience; I couldnt imagine a life a total sobriety, its too boring. If not for allowing your brain to think differently then at least its a good fuck up.

Once your shrooms are done growing, give them away to someone who actually appreciates them.
--------------------
It's just like the story of the grasshopper and the octopus. All year long, the grasshopper kept burying acorns for winter, while the octopus mooched off his girlfriend and watched TV. But then the winter came, and the grasshopper died, and the octopus ate all his acorns. Also he got a race car. Is any of this getting through to you?

Why do you have to do them immediately after they're finished? make chocolates, throw em in the freezer and wait till you make a decision, then either eat them or share with friends as the previous poster mentioned.
It seems like you have a sort of cynical view of doing them, which makes me think you should - since your views seem to have changed in the two years that it's been since your last time, they may lend you an insight into this period of your life. If anything they may just validate your life as it is and you can be happy and confident with the way your life is going right now. Are you afraid that your life might not be what you really want it to be?
Also, you said after a lot of thinking you've changed your mind - what changed your mind? what were you thinking? what were your reasons in the first place for taking them? Have these changed?

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.

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.

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

of course you should, if you can get the set and setting right then definitely go for it.

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

Shrooms don't have to be used as a life changing experience every time. Take them and enjoy yourself, laugh your ass off. Maybe somewhere along the way you'll realize that life is composed of more then just 3 things.

If you do decide you don't want them, be a pal and give/sell them to some friends who may not have tried them yet.

What does that mean? That you used drugs in the past to escape your problems? If so, then definitely don't do shrooms. You might have changed, but it doesn't seem like your intention for using drugs has changed -- to get fucked up, right?

Quake, I used them because I was curious about them the first time. After that because I don't really know, i just liked them. After reading through this thread all I can say is that the time just isn't right. I need to get a job first, finish the school semester, and work on my game some more. Then I'll be able to trip and enjoy myself. I threw my cakes away, which was only 4, and it only took a month to get them to the birthing point. Theres always summer, right?

Heheh, yeah there's always summer.
However, I kinda feel bad that you threw them away. Perhaps you could have dug a hole in a garden somewhere an just buried them?
They must feel neglected. 
Sorry I am just a sappy bastard about that kind of shit. Makes me wanna cry.

Yes.
It is my opinion that noone ever reaches their full potential without the creativity and inspiration provided by this amazing fungus, especially when the dose is supplemented with vitamins T, H, and C.
Be all you can be.

Well I buried 2 cake. And the others I ended up putting in a blender with some water and just dumped that in the same place as the first one. I was trying to extract from the mycelium, but once all of them were blended together I could tell that wasn't going to happen.
I still have all the materials, I just need it to be warmer because I am one broke bastard.
