I've tripped many times, and done many drugs. But I've always been scared of psychosis, probably because it's the only real danger related to psychedelics like mushrooms and LSD... however, I've never really been able to find accurate info.
If, for example, I ate a large quantity of shrooms, and had a level 4-5 experience, would it be possible to permanently go crazy? Or is a drug-induced psychosis temporary?
I don't think there ever has been serious mental illness in my family, so mabye I'm just paranoid. But I'd still like to know...

Crazy people dont question their own sanity. You may be looken at some mild HPPD but probobly not. I know a guy that does a lot of acid and he's a bit weird but he may have always been that way.

I'm not saying I'm crazy, or think I do. I just plan on high-dosing soon, and I'm scared of going nuts forever... is it possible? likely?

if you haven't had any problems in the past, you're probably gonna be ok. on a side note, if you are afraid of this happening, you might want to reconsider high dosing for a while at least. you'd be surprised when that fear will come back on you (like when you're questioning your sanity on shrooms)...

I don't think that'd be a problem. I've had major mindfucks before, but never to the point of questionning my sanity. Shrooms make me feel totally in control, if not more than in everyday life.

I think we all experience temorary insanity when tripping. It only lasts the duration of the trip. I have had level 5 acid trips and might be shaken up the next day but i am pretty much back to normal. Hell, thats part of the fun of tripping, insane thoughts.

There is as much chance of mushrooms causing insanity as there is anything else in your life causing insanity. ie, not getting a girlfriend, leaving your girlfriend, going to college, drinking, not getting a job, getting a job etc
All these life experiences have exactly as much chance of making you lose your mind. In fact far more people have gone insane who have never taken psychedelics.

Nah. I think a level 5 trip is *just* a little more intense than not getting a job or going to college...

Nah, I think being out of work for months or moving away from home for the first time is a lot more stressful than a few hours on mushrooms. Definately likely to cause a lot more mental problems than any drug experience ever could.

I'm reading that if anyone was "changed" after shrooming, it's because the experienced might have woken up your dormant mental problems. So if you have mental problems, or your family has a history of mental problems, maybe you should stay away from it.

I second the above statement and add that, on 5g's there will be a point in which you feel you are insane, forever... Just remember that its only a drug and the though should then leave your head. Unless of corse you never do come down. MUHUHAHAHAHA

I've never felt i was insane in the slightest. I've felt totally at peace with the world and divine happiness and love but insanity? Never. Maybe I'm getting better shrooms than you guys!

I've read a lot about the side affects of "tripping". There are many theorys stating that the time you have on your trip is the biggest factor on how it will affect you when you come off. So basically if you have a bad trip while on acid/shrooms it can do more damage to your brain then if you have a good trip because it affects the seratonin levels in your brain which can damage them. -This is just one of many theorys but it makes sense

No, mushrooms and acid cannot "damage" your brain in any way whatsoever.

I think what triggers the insanity is...
you see some shit you can't believe.
...then you keep seeing shit you can't believe.
It goes on and on... just tell yourself, it will pass...just know it is only temporary.

Psychedelics can only cause any problems if the person who takes them has any type of mental problems. Even then they can be used as a tool to overcome them. Although they can make you act diffrent in a way people may think your weird. But who wants to be a normal, designer clothes muppet.
As for insanity people who are crazy dont know they, they just think there normal. And I dont think they question there own sanity. Also Psychedelics don not cause any type of brain damage or damage to the body, they are extremley safe compared to all other types of drugs.

I used to have a problem staring into the mirror and making faces, but I noticed, I won't have a bad trip if I stand in front of the mirror and make faces through that "hard" part of the trip.
I always seem to become a HUGE asshole after staring in front of the mirror, I guess because I am admiring myself. My whole family kind of has some problems of being cold-hearted and ruthless, but staring in the mirror makes me feel great as a person, as compared to having a bad trip where I feel like a pathetic lump of flesh.
Hard to explain.
Someone told me not to stare in the mirror?
