Psilocybin. Mushrooms containing psilocybin are available fresh or dried and are typically taken orally. The active psilocin (4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) and psilocybin (4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) cannot be inactivated by cooking or freezing preparations. Thus, they may also be brewed as a tea or added to other foods to mask their bitter flavor. The effects of psilocybin, which appear within 20 minutes of ingestion, last approximately 6 hours.

I stopped reading right there.
Shrooms are not bitter.

Oh, I didn't actually read it before. I think it could impair your memory if it was a really traumatic experience and caused you to blank that memory out.

It has also made me... I dunno, I can't really say forget things. But often when I'm tripping it's like memories get relocated, particularly of things that happened during the trip. What I mean by that is like, it's not always a steady stream, I could very vividly remember making a bowl of soup, but have no idea that I did that 5 minutes ago, I could just wonder for awhile thinking it was weeks ago or something. And That's different from time dilation, it's just that I forgot that I just made soup.

I don't know about long term effects though, I mean I only forget what happened during the trip. I can't see them impairing your brain permanently. If that's the case then it's just bs, don't worry about it and dose up.

What do you mean? Have you not tripped before? They can cause you to lose all memory, completely. You can have no idea what/who you are. They can also improve your memory. It all depends.

Psilocybin. The active compounds in “magic” mushrooms have LSD-like properties and produce alterations of autonomic function, motor reflexes, behavior, and perception.3 The psychological consequences of psilocybin use include hallucinations, an altered perception of time, and an inability to discern fantasy from reality. Panic reactions and psychosis also may occur, particularly if a user ingests a large dose. Long-term effects such as flashbacks, risk of psychiatric illness, impaired memory, and tolerance have all been described in case reports.

OH NOES! Not tolerance!

why the fuck are you getting drug facts from a government website? according to the DEAs website, 1.2g of cocaine is a lethal dose for somebody my size. i've done 3x that much in one night, and i had a bloody nose and a horrible comedown, but i'm fine. and that shit came right out of a kilo that was wrapped in greenish brown packaging from Columbia.
