...I decided to brew up the magic mushrooms which I've keeping in a jar since last autumn time.
A very 'interesting' night to say the least. One of the most intense psychedelic experiences I've had in my life, words can't express really !
Felt like I'd been over a mountain by the end of it, relieved to be relieved... can't say I'm in a hurry to do it again but once or twice a year is good for the soul.

Congratulations, you must feel good inside having successfully lived through poisoning yourself. Not sure it's the sort of post that should be on an open family website though.
Sorry but drugs are for losers. 
Glad you enjoyed your escapism though 
I think he should post it-good Debate... Dam hippy cyclists...
Family forum? thats a joke right! LOL
I prefer a cycle-delic experience - ride to the top of a mountain and witness the sweeping curves or jutting rocks in an ever changing play of light and shadow
Sorry but drugs are for losers.
not so there are good drugs and baaad drugs.
penicillin is a drug = good
heroin is also a drug = bad
it depends on your choice of drug
I'm having fun with dihydrocodeine and cocodamol rioght now having broken my collarbone thursday night.
Actually thats a lie, drugs are shite and make me feel sqonky, i'd rather have the pain.
penicillin is a drug = good
Easy for you to say that .......... have you any idea the problems I have satisfying my addiction to warding off bacterial infections ?
you have thrush?
penicillin is a drug = good
I've been taking it for a week or so and it makes me nauseous 
heroin is also a drug = bad
heroin is a perfectly good drug. It's prohibition is what causes all the problems.
Start with the allegation that heroin damages the minds and bodies of those who use it, and consider the biggest study of opiate use ever conducted, on 861 patients at Philadelphia General Hospital in the 1920s. It concluded that they suffered no physical harm of any kind. Their weight, skin condition and dental health were all unaffected. 'There is no evidence of change in the circulatory, hepatic, renal or endocrine functions. When it is considered that some of these subjects had been addicted for at least five years, some of them for as long as twenty years, these negative observations are highly significant.'
Congratulations, you must feel good inside having successfully lived through poisoning yourself.
I do feel very good inside actually, psilocybin containing mushrooms are a natural entheogen and cleanse the body, not poison it. They have been used for thousands of years by indigenous people all over the planet as a means to having a relationship with spirit, a very important aspect the human condition which is sadly missed these days due to the western 'attitude towards drugs'

still taste like **** though

Why can't immigrants use them too ?
boil 'em up, simmer for a few minutes, siv, drink. yummy. doesn't taste too bad. Ayahuasca tastes much worse.

yay! shrooms. used to pick em wild whe i was in Oz. that was fun; running around off ya tits with a full moon chasing kangeroos.
a few years back now, there used to be a local shop selling 'shrooms.
he'd ask what you wanted; trippy, stoned, mellow, and would take you out back and mix something up.
was a good evening when i arrived at the pub for my mates birthday. everyone was on the beers and i asked for tea-for-2. barmaid gave me a big steaming pot of water and a few teabags.
put half the shrooms in the pot along with a teabag. all i can say that it was very interesting eating in PizzaExpress with all the mirrors everywhere.
great fun.
about 2 weeks later there was a change in the law. you couldn't sell shrooms that were ready but you could still sell the kits. wait six weeks and you'd have a batch ready.
should probably look into buying a kit now as kicks are far and few between (if you exclude the tuppaware box currently full of weed).
yeah, not that bad tasting. drink with something else and a few extra sugars on top (i usually have three sugars in me tea anyway)
It really, really could have been worse mate:

While alcohol and tobacco remain legal, no criticism can be given to ANY illegal drug
what you mean Bob is that legal drugs arent safe from criticism.
Of course you can criticise illegal drugs, just dont forget to criticise legal ones too.
That's fair comment.
No one criticised the OP for mentioning he was at the pub.
Alcohol and tobacco cause far more death, misery, suffering etc than pretty much all illegal drugs combined!
Just curious but how do you know "
They have been used for thousands of years by indigenous people all over the planet as a means to having a relationship with spirit"
and
"a means to having a relationship with spirit, a very important aspect the human condition"
psylocibin is not a poison. It has no toxic effects. Overdosage is virtually impossible unlike alcohol
No but psilocybin is an illegal drug!
Are shrooms still legal in this country? I can't remember the law on this one, if I remember right you could harvest them, take them and be in posession of them, but drying them or processing them for consumption was illegal?
Shroom tea is very interesting indeed!
It also occurs in naturally growing mushrooms in the UK.
I would love to see the classification of mushrooms as a drug tested. It used to be that they were only considered a "drug" if processed but there was a change in the law a year or two ago.
I just don't see how someone could be fairly prosecuted for what grows on their lawn
I just don't see how someone could be fairly prosecuted for what grows on their lawn
indeed. you should see my lawn.
Do you think Im safe from prosecution?
stoner - the difference being psylocibin mushrooms are a native species that grows wild and widely. the law was changed because folk were selling frozen mushrooms that did not break the old law openly but I simply do not see how anyone picking them in the wild could be fairly prosecuted. In theory under the law as it stands now all owners of sheepgrazing land break the law by being in possession of the shrooms every autumn
Where a controlled drug involved is a fungus containing psilocin or an ester of psilocin (commonly known as magic mushrooms) posession will not be unlawful in certain circumstances. Those circs are where the fungus is growing uncultivated and it:
(1) is picked by a person already in lawful possession of it (eg land owner on whose land the mushrooms are growing) for the purpose of delivering it (ASAP) into the custody of a lawful person (eg police). OR
(2) it is picked by anyone for someone to hand to the police.
Otherwise it's still illgeal and is a class A drug!!
there you go TJ, the act of picking not for the purposes in 1 and 2 is the crime, not refining or preparing for consumption.
I imagine there are possibly other narcotic derivatives that can be picked from wild. I wonder at what point hemlock becomes illegal? probably administration 
Stoner - thats the change in the law - thanks for clarifying that Mungechick
so just say that you`re on your way to the police station to hand them in
roper...
The evolution of modern humans has taken more than five million years but until less than 50,000 years ago we had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no creative and innovative thinking, and quite possibly no language. Then, a dramatic and electrifying change overtook our ancestors in every part of the globe, and all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves today appeared suddenly, already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers. Scientists describe this change as “the greatest riddle in human history”.
The first art of mankind, in the painted caves and rock-shelters of southwest Europe and South Africa, dates back to the time of the great change. Why do these ancient paintings, tens of thousands of years old, depict beings of a kind that are never found in nature – strange and eerie hybrids with the heads of animals and the bodies of humans?

No but psilocybin is an illegal drug!
The law is nonsensical sometimes, I agree.
Mine were picked whilst on a bike ride in Wales. It's ridiculous for someone to attempt to make a mushroom or any plant for that matter illegal and it's ridiculous for anyone to tell me what I can and cannot put into my own body. If I do not have the full sovereignty over my own consciousness then we cannot call our society democratic. I WILL do what I choose with my own mind and no law however absurd is ever going to change that. Religion stem from shamanism and shamanism stems from the ingestion of consciousness altering plants and then other methods to reach similar states of mind were developed later such as Yoga, trance drumming, dancing and fasting etc. All religions speak of a persons transcendent experiences into these realms and governemts today have now made these substances illegal and demonise them to prevent people from having their own real spiritual experiences.
