    well the LD50 (lethal dose in 50% of the test subjects) of Psilocybin is 285 mg/Kg in a lab mouse, while the regular human dosage is usually around 2mg-20mg (of pure psilocybin)

    so i wouldnt worry about ODing on shrooms

    I don't even think you could physically eat enough mushrooms and keep them down to OD... It's not uncommon for heavy trippers to eat halfies in one sitting.. Some people like whole ounces- and I even read a trip report before of someone who ate 40 grams... (All dried weight btw)

    ya i guess it all depends on the active chemical to mushroom ratio...those figures that i wrote are for pure psilocybin, not the mushrooms themselves

    when you end up in the hospital with 2 IVs, a catheter, an oxygen tube and numerous doctors surrounding you trying to give you medicine to keep you from slipping off the edge of death, is considered an overdose

    An overdose is taking too much and getting adverse reactions. You don't have to be on the edge of death, or even have to go to the hospital. Overdoses on some substances can get serious and lead to death though.

    i heard the OD for shrooms was about your own body weight in shrooms (dry?).

    even if it were wet-weight, i'd have a hard time eating 150 pounds of ANYTHING.

    I'm sure if you ate enough shrooms you'd eventually pass out...

    I've never really heard of anyone passing out from too much shrooms, but I know if you keep eating em you'd either throw up or just not be able to eat anymore...

    i ate 5.5 g dried once, i woulnd't call it passing out, but well i ate them around 11pm, it started like a normal eighth trip, breathing walls, tv looked real fucked up, and there was normal confusion and giggling, then i felt a little sick so i went to puke in my garbage can, but only gagged a little, theni layed down and the next thing i know its 130 am and i completely lost my mind, like hardcore ego loss, but i dont' kno wwhat happened between like 1215 and 130, i guess i passed out or something.

    I guess it comes down to one's definition of overdose.

    My definition of overdose is coming so near the lethal dose of a chemical as to require hospitalization or emergency medical treatment to prevent death or serious injury.

    Taking a lot of a hallucinogenic drug and having a bad trip is simply called "taking too much" or "couldn't handle it." Calling those situations "overdoses" is simply an attempt to shrug off one's responsibility and say that it was a medical fault and not one's own, when in reality, one creates the bad trip for oneself through bad set and setting.

    So eating, say, a pound of roll pills wouldn't be considered irresponsible?

    I wouldn't even like to begin to imagine what it would be like to OD. I had 20-something grams of fresh Hawaiians and my mind was completely FUBAR. I dunno whether it's coz I'm a lightweight or relatively inexperienced or both but damn, I wouldn't wanna trip any more than that!
