caffeine only needs 190 mg per kilogram of body weight to have a 50/50 chance of killing you, whereas you would need 280 mg per kilogram of body weight of psilocybin.

      I would recommend against it. While 25g of MUSHROOMS doesn’t contain enough psilocybin to be anything close to lethal, it does contain enough to potentially be an extremely bad time. As someone who got stoned watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and accidentally continued snacking on the almost 28g of mushrooms left in the bag…hard pass. Never again.

        Setting is important and that sounds like a terrible movie to do mushrooms on, especially with the creepy mannequin in the beginning.

        That said, I think if people are following general recommended procedures, they should try magic mushrooms.

        magic mushrooms are physiologically safe, mind-broadening, non-habit forming, even therapeutically recommended by the FDA.

        if you’re texting while driving you can crash your car, but that doesn’t mean you should never drive.

        especially if you want to go somewhere.

            I also endorse responsible consumption.

            this is why I made the post, to address common forms of alarmism concerning psychedelic mushrooms.

              Ok cool. It just seems like you’re glossing over the actual cause of the bad trip. It had nothing to do with the movie.

                glossing over? by directly addressing your concerns?

                I wasn’t with you when you took that fateful trip, so I am not absolutely certain what went wrong for you. I’m responding to the story you’ve provided.

                Setting is very important during a psychedelic trip, and putting on a loud, emotionally aggressive movie that starts with a creepy mannequin is not a psychedelics setting I would ever recommend.

                you are making very strong recommendations to other people based on your single anecdotal experience.

                    Your concern over dosage(~25g) is directly contradicted by evidence.

                    https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9751063/

                    show your sources. this community requires evidence for claims.

                    25 grams of mushrooms is not a very high dose for experienced users or for patients in therapeutical settings.

                    Setting is always crucial to a psychedelic experience, according to the FDA, NIH, and psychedelic communities.

                    magic mushrooms should be taken responsibly, and people following the basic recommended guidelines will be fine.

                    you can tell your own story without exaggerating things.

                    baseless alarmism is specifically what this post is fighting against.
