Just avoid salvia unless you're an experienced psychonaut. It works, oh yes, but it is most definitely not a party drug.
Ehh... I agree with most of what you're saying, but a very large percentage of chemicals you buy on blotters these days are verrrrrrry different from what Albert Hofmann synthesized (LSD-25) and ingested himself in the 1940s. Drugs have come a long way since then. I've been fortunate enough to get my hands on some 25 and they were the most beautiful, clean trips I've ever had. Unfortunately, there are hundreds if not thousands of "research chemicals" these days that pose as LSD and are sold on a blotter, only to give folks incredibly intense and sometimes violent trips. I believe most of these chemicals are derived from the 2C family, like 2C-E and so on. These have a much higher intoxication rate and have actually caused several ODs, something pure LSD is essentially incapable of doing (unless you drown yourself in a barrel of acid the size of a keg).
Basically what I'm saying is, people very likely didn't trip harder because it was LSD. They tripped harder because they got sold one of the hundreds of forms of bunk ass shit that makes you hallucinate your balls off with no aspect of mindfulness attached.

Man... I don't know about shrooms being the safest. I've read some people on reddit talk about how a bad trip could cause PTSD in a worst case scenario while maybe memory loss seems to be the worst effect of smoking too many Jamaican cigarettes.
I've done them so many times that they now make me feel like shit and I can't do them anymore.
Weed is safer imo. Doesn't feel like I'm poising my body every time I do it.
Most perfect combination of username, avatar and post ever.What do u think happens after u die?
Shrooms are actually not toxic at all. There are myths about brain bleeding and liver damage, when in reality you'd need to eat something like 17kg of fresh mushrooms for a toxic effect. Eating 17kg of water will kill you too.

So I thought this was interesting. Obviously, the article does not talk about potential effects it has on, say, neurotoxicity, but regardless, it makes perfect sense given how the mushroom works, apparently. Of course, it's not risk free (the fact that you often do not have control of your thoughts is enough to make me never attempt them), but it's still in line with what I expected.
None of these tests account for psychological damage done as a result of using and experiencing the effects of these drugs. Everyone's mind is different and most psychedelics are harmless from a biological standpoint. Psychological is a whole different story, for some, it can be very damaging to the mind.
They're pretty common in SEA. I wish they had a more "trippy" or enlightening effect on me, but every time I try one the most that happens is a slight shift in my perception in time and a substantial increase in appetite.
So the survey is based on whether people who took the substance said they needed medical treatment, which means there's probably no controlling for purity of the substance ingested.
There was also a study done where psilocybin was used to treat depression and anxiety in cancer patience with great success.
On an anecdotal note. Last year I was suffering from crippling anxiety and depression and I was out on a camping trip off the coast of Tofino in BC here and I took some mushrooms. The bioluminescent plankton was washing up on the beach. The whole shore was glowing blue. The waves crashing were glowing blue. It was a perfectly clear night with zero light polution. You could see the Milky Way so perfectly and bright. I just stood there alone and contemplated my life and what had happened and what was going on with me and stuff. The depression and anxiety vanished. It never really came back either.
Im not necessarily claiming that the mushrooms cured me as I was getting help for it elsewhere and I was taking medication for it but that was the last time I had those same feelings of dread and its been almost a full year now.
I love shrooms.
Thats awesome. Happy she had a positive response to it. I've seen what the anxiety and depression can do to people suffering from cancer and its awesome to see results like this for people with the psilocybin.My friend's mother was in this study. She had an overwhelmingly positive response.
Of course, why wouldn't it?
I've been told by more than one person that shrooms can permanently change your personality and the way you think. Not so sure if it's true. But it sounds like a trip.

While many people say shroom are awesome, they should still be treated with respect.
If you do a little research its pretty easy to identify the gold caps.I've always been interested but I've heard too many stories from immediate friends about getting sick from a bad batch, as well as how difficult it is to correctly identify the right mushrooms.
Supposedly they look very similar to a common type of mushroom that's poisonous and could kill you?

Repeated use will lower serotonin levels in the brain, which can lead to depression, anxiety, etc. And it can have other long-term effects on the brain. Basically, don't do a ton of ecstasy. My personal limit is no more than 2-3 times a yearWhat are the side effects and dangers of taking ecstacy? Compared to this ��... Just wondering

While mushrooms may be safe, LSD-25 has always been a more accessible compound in my opinion. The complications are a longer trip for LSD-25 and lack of regulation means substances like NBOME can be passed off as LSD.
I'm too old for mushrooms now but I'm down with acid every couple of years, it's like an oil change for the soul.
