I don't think its possible to OD physically, but eating more than your capable of handling would be like a mental OD... Very bad idea to consume more than you're comfortable with...
You obviously don't know much about shrooms. Doing them "too much" is pretty hard to do because of the quickly built up tollerence. Even if you did do them a lot you are not going to go schizo unless you alredy are. Psychedelics have been known to trigger latent mental illness, but never cause it
Yes you can O.D on shrooms but you have to consume somethin like half your body weight of pure psylocibin (SP?).
Though I don't disagree with your statements, I think you're getting overly heady and technical. Bill didn't really say anything incorrect, he just simplified it. If a mental illness is latent and is triggered by shrooms, therefore one could say that one did "go schizo" due to them. Clarification is always a good thing, but really. No need to be snippy.
What do you mean by "O.D."? I mean, there are different definitions of over dose, but can you take so many that you die? I've never seen it, nor have I ever read of any case of that. But, yeah, doing too many shrooms can bring out pre-existing mental problems. I've smoked pot everyday since I was 13, and I'm not suffering from any psychosis or schizophrenia, so I'd assume that the same applies to Marijuana. The blockage of neurotransmission in a synapse can be considered condusive to mental stability, actually, but it depends on the chemical being blocked. As far as I know, the only neurotransmission chemical blocked in antidepressants is seratonin. Marijuana and mushrooms are both fairly harmless, beyond the short-term (no, you'll never hear that from your mom).
not about O.D'ing but knew kids who would try selling mushrooms they picked outa the ground and passing them off as shrooms.. those things kill!. "For every shroom there is an almost identical poisionus mushroom".
Musicman19.. you're too damn smart. I read your posts and usualy just nod my head at the parts I understand, which are rare and losely understood. Lets just say mushies fuck you up more mentally and if you're a loonie already you might go mad taking them... oh and your picture makes you look like the lead singer from Brand new... wierd
Thanks for the compliment, but I'm really still on the porch with the puppies. My professors in school made it very clear to me that I'm not nearly in the ring with the big dogs. Those guys can dwarf you in a debate, run you around in circles logically that you don't even understand, and they're not just masters at debate, but are also incredibly well-educated, and most are enlightened to an extent that I could only hope for at some point in my life. I like to stay humble, as I never know from where the next political genius or debate master-mind will come. I'm sure it's not too hard to understand most of what I say, although a lot of times I do a lot of unnecessary run-around, which isn't by any purpose of my own, it's simply the way of the wordsmith. Anyway, I don't know who "Brand New" is, but I'm glad I look like him...? lol
