Shrooms?

[CableLight]

No no no...This is the proper way to do it if you don't have them caked in a chocolate:

Buy one of those little Tony's Mini-Pizzas (like $1 at the store), microwave it, and sprinkle the shrooms on it - break them up a little if you need to. I suggest pepperoni or sausage - Not plain cheese.

It doesn't taste as funky as you might think, infact there's almost no taste if you "bury" the shrooms a little bit. It's really easy to get a half eighth on there this way, plus you get something filling in your stomach. I've never had nausea after having done it this way 5 times.

Most people who fvck with shrooms do it like this. Haven't you ever heard of shroom tea? There are a couple of reasons though:

1. Shrooms are mushrooms that grow in cow sh1t, so they obviously don't go down too easy. Boiling them gets all of the juices out without having to swallow the actual mushrooms. (Take the shrooms out after boiling them, but keep all of the water, mix with whatever)

2. The effects will take place sooner since your body doesn't have to digest them. I'm guessing the reason it to so long for CableLight to feel the effects is because he ate them.



It's definitely a good time.

Have you ever heard of MRIs? Obviously not. Plus they have done psychological tests to verify the changes.

There are many ways into your head...

Perhaps we should look more at mood enhancing drugs.

In the first few years of the 1800s, someone went down south and did a census to find out how much the average farmer drank per day. Turned out to average about 1 quart. PER DAY!

Now you're not gonna start up a country and say "Hay guyz, we don't like alcohol so you can't drink anymore." now are you? No you sure as sh*t are not. So that's why alcohol is legal.

Tobacco was a huge cash crop during the country's history so we're not just gonna throw those out either. Tobacco = legal

Weed: Although it existed did not provide money to the country and was something small and insignificant when the country was founded, so people really didn't say much when it was prohibited. Weed = Illegal

Same with all the other mood enhancing drugs at the time.

Drugs are not a good thing to society and a government especially does not want something like that going around. If a government had there way, there would be no alcohol or drugs of any sort.


Plus Perscription drugs are ment to help prevent/cure diseases or help numb the pain before surgery. Those are not on the same level as a Halucinogenic or depressent drug such as shrooms or alcohol.

Now what were you saying that was so utterly brilliant?

Oh wai...

The only lines that divide prescription drugs from recreational drugs are the ones we draw. A drug is a drug by any other name...

Alright...Here's my first 'Shroom experience - This should hopefully give 1st timers at least an idea of what to possibly expect.

I split 8th of 'shrooms (they were in a chocolate) with my neighbor in my dorms. Over an hour goes by and we're sitting here thinking I got ripped off and we weren't going to get anything out of this. Note that he had tried them before, and I would recommend 1st timers doing it with someone experienced.

Hour and a half goes by, I'm still not going anywhere and the most I'm experiencing is a mild case of the giggles. Neighbor and I decide to smoke some herb in his room.

It's roughly been two hours since I've taken them after the two bowls we smoked, and I'm pretty high but not at all what I'd call "tripping" at all. He goes to the bathroom, I go to take my bowl back to my room. As soon as I open my door the shrooms kicked in - it felt like I was stepping into a new world.


I swear to God I could almost see into time or something. I would say something like "I really want a piece of gum" and be blown away by the fact that I reached into the exact spot in my backpack that I kept the gum. I went to the bathroom after that, and it looked like everyone I passed in the hall had a glass case of sorts surrounding them, like they were all in their own worlds and I was in mine.

Neighbor came to my room with pretty much the same experience. We watched Pirates of the Caribbean (which, ironically, I "pirated" off the internet that day). It was amazing - thats about the best I can describe the movie.

Next we went outside the dorms and walked around campus - Everything seemed alive and moving in ways that defied physics as if to say "Look at me! I'm doing this for you!" It was great.

We ended the night by watching some episodes of the Sopranos, which was - from my recollection - a lot more funny than the show usually is. As with Pirates of the Carribbean and the out doors, objects in the room would stretch and bend with characteristics resembling liquid or like a lava lamp. This, I would say, is one of the cooler aspects of 'shrooms.

At the end of the night, I went back to my room to sleep. I had little glow-in-the-dark stars on the cealing of my room that danced around and shined like real stars. It was fairly sublime, to say the least. Good dreams that night.

LOL More more more!!!

You said nothing about opium, which was THE drug of choice of the "rich and famous" 1800-ers.

Your part about weed is false. Marijuana was legal up until 1937, when it was banned because of cotton growers. Cotton growers were afraid hemp would be the new cotton (because hemp is a very useful crop), so they wrote letters, organized, etc. and got it banned.

Because you said nothing about opium and what you said about weed was false, I doubt the part about alcohol or tobacco is true. Take a look at this map http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~atlas/america/static/map16.html, and tell me tobacco was a major cashcrop. Tobacco, after the civil war became a major cash crop as the united states started exporting cigarrettes, but back even 150 years ago it wasn't what you would find growing on every farm. And a quart of alcohol a day average? Please. Show me some proof.

We did ban alcohol (1919-32 I believe) but alcohol is so ingrained into our psyche and culture it did not work. That said, I think the government should not restrict any activity unless it harms someone else.

But I do think people should not do drugs, because it affects their cognitive functions and turns them into a duller, more retarded person, which cannot be good for society.

Vincent, you really should do some research on the subject before you go shooting your mouth off.

www.bluelight.nu is a great place for trip reports, so is www.shroomery.org if it hasn't been closed yet.

 

[CableLight]

Not all 'shrooms are grown in cow manure, and not all the ones in cow manure are ones you'd really want to eat. Most of the ones people buy are grown in little "home gardens" of sorts.

If you check out the section on Mushrooms at erowid.org it'll explain some things.

I'll post ya another story after class, Jack

 

[CableLight]

Here you go, Jack...This is probably one of my better/most fun "trips."

It's about two weeks into last summer ('04) and all my high school friends are back home and ready for a collective bash to kick off the summer. Note that after my (and seemingly most of my friends') freshman year, the caliber of a party was strictly derived from the number of kegs it had. Therefore, we had two kegs for about 25 people. There's around 170 beers in a keg, which means each person was guarenteed about 14 beers (though the girls wouldnt come close to this number), so it had good potential.

I did not know about this at the time. I thought it was BYOB and I didn't think the eight beers I had left over would do it. Solution: Shrooms. I did my aforementioned pizza trick and headed into town to a friend's house...smoked two bowls on the way there (I took the "scenic" route).

NOTE that to this day none of these people I hang around with knew I was tripping that night...Fast forward a little bit, and I'm still at my friend's house playing Need for Speed Underground when the shrooms finally kick in. I miscalculated that we'd already be at the party by this time...Oops.

I wont go into detail of the walls of his house seeming to melt and giggle around me, or that the car I was driving in the game grew a 3-d eyeball that came out of the TV and winked at me. Instead, I'll tell you about having to drive the two people to the party.

See, another friend stopped by and my two buddies decided to start drinking. I'm like "whatever" because I was watching houseplants dance. So, they ask me to drive them to the party. Sh!t.

I didn't tell them about the shrooms b/c of personal reasons, but I will tell you - that drive was INSANE. I held it together well enough to not raise suspicion or anything, but holy god. At one point we pulled up to a stoplight and it melted down to the street. Clouds were smiling, trees were stretching, and other cars on the road seemed weightlessly floating on the road. I was calm on the outside, but my brain was screaming "OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME" the whole time.

We pulled into the party and thankfully my tripping-balls-brain managed to fit in pretty well with all the drunk people. It was actually very, very fun and I managed to come up with some hilarious stories and comments. It would have been awesome to have someone else there I could say "Dude, the pool table is walking," but it was still fun nonetheless. I managed to come down before I had to drive home, but I blazed up on the drive back to keep the ball rolling

Good times...Good times.

He's a little more right than you give him credit for. Tobacco was a big cash crop, dating back to the 1600s. John Rolfe brought Caribbean tobacco to Virginia in the 1600s and it became a cash crop. It did have it's ups and downs over the years, but its always been a big crop grown in the midatlantic area. Trust me, I'm taking US History this year so I know, and I'm from Virginia so I've had known that stuff since we first started learning about histroy in elementary school.

And the stuff about alcohol and tobacco that he mentioned that you said probably isn't true is in fact true. I actually thought that was common knowledge. Everyone knows that cigarettes haven't been banned because its a huge industry that provides many jobs and boosts our economy.

Another shroom story:

The first time I did shrooms was last Halloween. Me and 3 other friends all pitched in for an 8th of shrooms each. Since it was my first time, I decided to only eat half of the 8th at first, saving the other half for about 4 hours later. We ordered a pizza, crushed up the shrooms and sprinkled them on it. They didn't taste too bad, but we could definitely taste them. Not exactly appetizing, but who cared. After about 45 minutes, we started to feel like we were stoned, but we weren't tripping yet. So we decided to go out and talk a walk around the town, since night was falling and tons of people were gonna be out and about partying on Halloween.

As soon as we stepped into the dorm hallway, we all felt it, at the same time. It felt like everything was alive. The walls were moving, the carpet was breathing, and the lights were making weird noises. It was pretty crazy, but not in a scary way. Just very interesting and amusing. We got into the elevator and pressed the button to go to the first floor. On the way down, three thuggish-looking guys stepped on the elevator. One was very tall, over 7 feet at least. One was medium height, and the other was very short, under 5'5". This blew our minds, because it was like 3 characters from some fairy tale had just gotten onto the elevator. I remember trying so hard not to laugh at them, so they wouldn't try to kick my ass.

When we finally got outside, it was amazing. EVERYTHING just seemed alive, the concrete, the benches, everything. Once we got into the downtown area, we ran into tons of people dressed up in Halloween costumes. We all got a real kick out of having conversations with Batman, a werewolf, and characters from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The coolest costume I saw that night was some dude dressed up in camo hiding in a bush. My friend walked up to the guy and started attacking him with a branch, which was one of the funniest things I have ever witnessed in my life. After wandering around the city for about 4 hours, we went back to the dorms and got drunk. We were still tripping pretty hard at that point though.

We ended the night by watching Vampire in Brooklyn with Eddie Murphy, which at the time was one of the funniest movies I thought I had ever seen. My last memory of the trip is playing Call of Duty on the PC with the lights off and wearing headphones...I was immersed in it, and it was so damn cool. For about 2 hours, I was under the impression that I really was in WWII.
