Any GetBiggers into Psilocybin mushrooms?

[OneMoreRep]

A few months back I took a trip with a group of close family and friends down to Costa Rica.

A great friend who I grew up with in New York City moved down there about 15 years ago and now owns and operates a Bed & Breakfast and has a mushroom farm right outside his property. The guy now holds everything from basic stays and also hosts special "spiritual retreats" by utilizing magic mushrooms and a multitude of other homeopathic agents.

Anyhow, during that trip, it's safe to say that we all went on a "trip" and it was quite possibly one of the most surreal and metaphysical experiences of my life. My friend has his Bed/Breakfast right off the coast and so you are able to enjoy the view of the ocean, as well as its encompassing sounds while taking part in your spiritual journey. Honestly, felt like I was in that movie with Leonardo DiCaprio "The Beach" (particularly in the night scenes by the water) given that mushrooms were consumed at night and by the water.

Now that I've been back in NYC for quite some time and once again bombarded with stimulation overload as only NYC can provide, it all seems like a distant memory.

Have any of you guys/girls ever experienced magic mushrooms? Did it give you a spiritual awakening? Did it give you a bad trip? Did it fuck you over? What was your experience?

used to pick our own years ago, August Septemeber months, and fileds that have had sheep in used to produce mushrooms
Once ate about 600, drank them down with juice

Should have been going to work later that night, had to pull a sicky and go to bed, awake all night with this on a reel in my head

Come again sir, you somehow consumed 600 psilocybin mushrooms (base & stems) in one sitting?

Yes, maybe not the same mushrooms you were talking about, these were "liberty Caps"

I had taken about 100 at 11 am
it was around 3pm when we finished the bag, we downed a grocery bag that was half full, I dont know how many in total but it was around that amount

Besides Monty Python, experience anything else of value?

Have used a few times and really liked it.

Starting researching recently about microdosing and all the latest around it.

I would listen to Rogan's podcast with Michael Pollan.....interesting stuff.

OMR,


Your post reminded me of how little we know of plants even in this day and age. In my hometown of Syracuse, NY the drug company Bristol Myers Squibb actually owns a significant amount of land where they search for new medicinals based on naturally occurring plants.


So many plants contain extremely active organic compounds - in fact many stronger than prescription pharmaceuticals we get from doctors. Psilocybin being one of them. It apparently releases serotonin and that is the key to its pharmacological action.


The basic structure of the molecule is called a "substituted indole" That is the two geometric rings you see in the attached drawing. Funny thing is is this same molecule is used in the body to produce the essential amino acid tryptophan. It is also the same structure found in DMT (dimethyltryptamine)


In any case magic mushrooms may be one of the safest psychedelics there is, as long as you don't overdo it.

I actually started following a guy named Paul Stamets, who is quite the pioneer in this field. I then noticed that he was on the Rogan podcast, but haven't listened in on it yet. Will check out both Pollan and Stamets soon.

For now, curious as to where Americans get their mushrooms from, as legality is an issue here in the states.

Amazing what substances from the earth can teach and provide to us.

I hope that in the future, society as a whole really starts to look into the various properties behind mushrooms and consider giving them a try versus the typical pharmaceutical bullshit in a bottle that we've been peddled for centuries.

Just laughed a lot... cars had faces and trees blowing in the wind looked like arms beckoning us towards them.


In bed I just lay there drifting around and getting pulled back to reality with what fely like huge electric shocks down my spine

Look at reddit - tons of info there on procurement, and how to grow.

That's what I'm talking about.

Many of the people (myself included) that felt the various effects of the mushrooms suggested that it gave them a outer-body, metaphysical experience. Energy, and our connection to what that energy is, was both presented as an inquiry to us, but also felt throughout our bodies much like the shocks of electricity down your spine.

Very interesting stuff.

A metaphysical experience or you were just high.

Metaphysical. We've all been high on some substance or another (say Marijuana), but I think mushrooms can give you a truly different experience. Call it soul searching or internal awakening or some other new age shit that my words fail to describe, but it certainly gives you a different experience. Some of my friends that have used Cocaine for instance, have told me that their high from cocaine was simply different, but had no effect on their desire to further explore the possible spiritual aspects of reality.

And who knows, I'm assuming that Ayahuasca or DMT type experiences are even more extreme.

When I did cocaine a few times I just wanted to get laid.  Nothing metaphysical at all.  If you like the feeling you get from mushrooms but can't get them often you want to try certain methods of meditation.  The Monroe Institute has some recordings that will really blow your mind.

Short of me simply googling it (which I will), what can you tell me about this institute and your experience?

Robert Monroe started the business to research near death like experiences.  He mimicked them by using binaural beats in his meditations.  There is like an 8 week course of meditations where you have all kinds of weird out of body experiences.  The remote viewers in the military used them for years to get into the proper mental state.  You can find many of these meditations on Youtube.  The Monroe Institute keeps playing whack-a-mole with those posting the videos and gets them taken down but they keep popping up.

Sounds very interesting. I will try to find one of these YouTube videos.

Amazing how much we can find just on the internet.

When do you listen it? Before bed? During meditation sessions? During a workout?

Curious, as I have no experience with such.

Before bed or when you want to relax.  Definitely NOT when driving.

Can you buy them online?

 I haven't dared try psychedelics. I've seen a few youtubers caution people, saying that it might only be worth the risks if you are extremely depressed and nothing else has helped, or if you are an extremely ego driven person. The risks are schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. It would be really unfortunate to develop schizophrenia, might as well kill yourself at that point.

But still I'm intrigued.

This one youtuber apparently broke his brain. Was a while ago, don't know if he recovered.

Still nutty, his most recent video was about banging a tranny while another youtuber watched. He does it in poem form -
