Not long term, but the two times I've done shrooms it just made me feel like I got hella drunk. No hallucinations, no groovy feelings, no sense of wonder... Just dizzy, nausea, and a general sense of numbness exactly the same as if I drank a whole 5th of Jack.

Odd. I have been catapulted in to several distant galaxies since this post and lived to tell the tale. Still, it affects different people in different ways. Having a fresh supply of "specialty" strains has provided its own unique benefits, for sure.
I know it couldn't have just been the stuff I had, since others took the same stuff and they describe having the kind of experience that led me to want to try them in the first place.
Weed has, so far, been the only narcotic I've taken that seems to affect me the same way as most people. But I'm not willing to try meth or crack until I am about to die. 🤷🏻♂️
It has been rumored that people that cannot easily visualize images in their head when sober won't get intense visuals when they trip. So, when I say "chair", can you visualize a "chair", or do you just think of the word "chair" in your head? So, depending on how your brain is wired it can take substantial amounts (5g or maybe even more) to get visuals and that is a trip that takes some serious practice to manage once that boundary is crossed. (Visuals are only one component to a trip and TBH, I have never heard of shrooms feeling like alcohol. Disorienting, sure. 5th of Jack disorienting is new to me.)
Weed makes me super paranoid these days. I love to grow it still and give it away when I do.
Also, crack and meth are just "dirty", IMHO. They basically leave you strung out and wanting more. It's not worth even trying, to be honest. I have tried them both and will never touch them again. Just don't, even on your death bed. 100% not worth.
No negative long term effects, but the experiences will stick with me forever and probably helped shape some of my personal philosophies and thoughts on stuff like conciousness and spirituality.
I am just over the "spiritual awakening" boundary myself. Over the last several months since this post, I have gone through some major shifts and it has absolutely been an amazing journey.
While I never will be religious, going through several instances of absolute ego dissolution has absolutely awakened something that I can only describe as spiritual. Once I saw for myself how fragile our perception of reality could be, it changed something. I dunno quite what, but it did.
While I still eat a couple of grams here and there, I don't really see the need to do more than that anymore. It's weird how that works.
My anxiety and depression are just shadows of what they once were. My weight has stabilized and my body is actually healing from what was years of alcoholism. (I actually quit drinking about a year ago but my health only recently stabilized once I was able to get my mind back on what amounts to a new plane of existence.)
Quitting drinking probably saved my life but shrooms are helping me rebuild my life. Well, shrooms pointed me in a really healthy direction, anyway.
@remotelove nope, can't think of any negative effect at all..
Cool. I just ate another 5g or more?
Ill see you on the moon, brother! Maybe mars? I dunno. The world is currently melting around me, so I'll get back with you when I am back. Cheers!
@remotelove enjoy the ride my friend!
On a serious note, what is the most you have consumed in one go?
@remotelove uhm.. I think I might have gone up to 7 probably? dont think i reached 10 ever.. but take this numbers with a grain of salt
It just so happens I like grains of salt!
I feel like Alice tonight and am curious about how deep the rabbit hole goes.
How far did it go?
Not far enough it seems.
I am about to eat 8 grams now, so wish me luck!
Good luck, sounds expensive. I can't imagine eating that many I do like 1-2g and go from there.
Nothing beats 100% home-grown! I have too much if anything, brother.
Those are some chunkers.
Yummy chonkers too!
What are they some kind of pe?
Somewhere in the lineage, I suppose. Denver Spore Company's Mac Galactic, to be exact.
I am planning for many more in the future and I have a fridge packed with petri dishes, just in case the world ends or something. :)
Are these all grown with ub and shoe boxes?
Yep!
I have a pressure cooker and a laminar flow hood now, so I will make bigger batches of spawn in the future. I'll still use UB Tek though as it is super easy.

I cured my road rage permanently so I’m sure a doctor somewhere has something colourful to say about that.
