I was just wondering what exactly happens in both the brain and body when you do Shrooms?
What happens when you do Cocaine?
I heard that shrooms get you high because it causes the inside of your brain to bleed but i think its probably a DARE rumour.
Just double checking

Don't forget that right now you're on a website called the shroomery, where you can find this information. 
"Psilocybin and psilocin are part of the tryptamine family (indole (C8H7N) & ethylamine side chain). They bear close resemblance to the neurotransmitter serotonin. How these substances work is, I have come to believe, still quite obscure. Primary effect seems to be the inhibition of neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine aka 5-HT), i.e. a 5-HT2A post-synaptic agonist that mimics the effects to 5-HT to put it in jargon. This is the working hypothesis for LSD-25 at the moment and it's probably true for psilocybin as well. These substances also present some cross-tolerance. "

I believe cocaine works by inhibiting the reuptake of dopamine,i.e. preventing your brain from getting rid of dopamine,thus raising your dopamine levels.

A really awesome place to find this kind of information out on any kind of drug or mind altering substance is Erowid.org

I checked Erowid. They only had the effects and stuff, not what process is happening within the brain.
Thanks for the fast answers.
