lets clarify, psilocybin is not poisoning you. i have no idea what the question at the beginning of this thread was, damn.
Lets clarify, Psilocybin is a poison. it wasnt meant to get you high at all, it is supposed to scare the living shit out of you so that you wont eat any more of them! it's just we have evolved to the point to where we enjoy poisoning ourselves on various levels so it's all gravy, it doesnt do anything to your body, nausea can often be imagined away if you have a strong enough will, all it affects is your head, what it actualy does to it im not sure, i once knew but i have forgotten from eating lots of mushrooms...
Well, evolution aside, no one is really sure as to why it is there. It could be argued that it is a defense mechanism, just as point could be made to it being a gift from God. Either way, I reiterate, the term "poison" is strictly sematics. Let's please let this die here.
I don't know itf anyone mentioned it yet (I scanned, but I didn't read everything) but you can also sieze if you are on antidepressants.
If you really wanna know things about shrooms you might want to go on www.magic-mushrooms.net . It's a pretty good site if you want to know about how to make them and also the effects when taking shrooms.
