Posted this twice eh? I'll reply twice then. I'm working my way up to fifty posts so that I can post in the politics forum anyway. You can overdose on anything. It simply implies taking too much of something, perhaps so much that you feel uncomfortable or something. But I think you probably mean the kind of overdose that harms you physically, and from here on in when I say overdose, I'm referring to what you mean. Yes its true that you can't overdose on mushrooms. Mixed with cannabis or not. Psilocybin, the prominent active chemical in shrooms is non-toxic. I think mushrooms in general are toxic. However the species of mushrooms that contain Psilocybin are nowhere near toxic enough to pose a threat to you. Even with the intention of overdosing I doubt that you could.
It is possible, but I dare any fool to get enough mush to stay in their stomach long enough to kill them.
shrooms are relatively safe, a friend of mine went on a 30 day long journy (eating everyday) towards the end he was eating 28 grams at a time !
sheesh I coudlnt fathom what 28 grams of mush would do to me. I guess his tolerance was so high by than it was prolly eating like an 8th though...
If anything the pot will kick off the visiuals or bring the high up. At least thats always been my experience...Infact that was standard proceedure, eat a few grams, wait 15 the smoke a bowl and watch the colors.
im supossed to do shrooms this weekend, so id better keep some of this in mind. haha oh, and you cant od on anything. theres one thing for sure you cant od on, weed.
I'veheard you can od on mushrooms, by way of dehydrating or something. I don't know how true this is though...I've never bothered looking into it.
I seriously doubt that anyone could eat enough mushrooms to cause physical damage. Maybe if you had pure psilocybin, but you'd throw the shrooms up by the time you ate enough to cause damage.
I don't think you can OD in a conventional sense (i.e. you end up on a hospital bed or worse), I've never heard of it happening. However, a friend of mine did take enough mushrooms in the form of tea to send her insane for half a day. She had told us the next day that she had little or no concept or reality would have hurt herself if she wasn't surrounded by friends. Another friend of mine was on an acid trip that turned bad because he smoked a couple of joints. He and his girlfriend believed they were in hell, unable to crawl out. I think you just need to start small with shrooms and work your way up (remember that mushroom tea will effect you much quicker and more intensely than the shrooms normally would as more of the active ingredient will reach your blood stream at one time, I think).
I read somewhere (erowid?) that the ld50 was 10 grams of PURE psilocybin. An average shroom is about .1% psilocybin right? With the average shroom (psilocybe cubensis) from my experience being about a gram that is the equivalant of eating 100 grams of dried mushrooms. I'm not positive if all that is right but I'm pretty sure.
if you eat roughly your weight in shrooms, you may be at risk of physically ODing. i don´t see myself managing to consume 60 kilos of shrooms. even on a good day of shroom picking you won´t find nearly enough to OD!
