I've always wanted to try shrooms, but the idea that you don't come down for hours and hours scares the crap outta me!

I think acid highs are even longer.
I've always been afraid of hallucinogens mostly for that reason.

with acid, the length of the high doesn't bother me so much as the possibility of flashbacks. everybody tells me that it's just like a bonus high, but i'm positive it would just make me more paranoid and anxious.

Never met anyone who's had a flashback. Pretty sure it's a myth.
The staying in your spine thing is a myth as well.

I've always found acid to be more manageable than mushrooms. I've never had a really bad experience on acid, even during the days of really pushing it with massive doses. But I had two incredibly bad trips on mushrooms, and I fear their power much more.

Neither have I and I've even read in psych books that it was total bullshit propaganda to scare people away from it. However, I use to know two different people who took way too much too often and screwed up their minds for life, very much like Syd Barrett. Like any other kind of substance, must handle with care.
Figured that's what GGW was talking about but have never before heard them called boomers.

i didn't think much of it, but a really close friend told me about her experience and i believe her because she wouldn't do any more drugs for months afterward.
also, i've never heard of the spine thing, but i googled it, and that's just gross.

I'm more scared of acid than I am of shrooms… although the story of
Bicycle Day certainly makes it seem compelling.
There's also some pretty compelling narrative in
"Confessions of an English Opium-Eater," if you've ever been tempted to go that route.

exact opposite for me. never had a bad experience with psilocybin, whereas lsd has ripped my head off once or twice.

aww, thanks betty, but drugs don't kill everyone everywhere and drugs are not all the same (weed <> heroin). alcohol kills more people than drugs, but would you stop someone from enjoying a beer or two?
