Perfect
Way different than if you hang with friends goofin out on the trip, can also be a good time but if you can drop your ego and let the Magic drive your thoughts it will no doubt be different and maybe life changing.
Terence McKenna says the strongest shrooms come from the indian hump backed cow not the proper name but the ones with the big hump are super potent compared to normal cow shit.

It's funny how science can find it's ass, loose it, and find it again decades later as if it were the first time it were discovered. 
I was under the impression that these things were already tested and determined years and years ago.
Then again, maybe I've lost my ass and found it again. Or maybe it's just lost?

Who knows? Mendel's work was lost\forgotten, rediscovered, and eventually was a contributor to the Modern Synthesis.

Boomers have changed me and the direction of my life, very much for the better!
Even though I've had a few bad trips (it's all about the setting including who you're with, and being in the right mental state... ie not stressed out or nervous or worried about things)
First time I was with 2 other friends and made two mistakes: a) one of them was trippin' as well, the other one was drinking and got a bit too obnoxious/goofy and was fucking with us
b) we pretty much just sat inside in the dark watching TV (Pink Floyd - Pulse... Incredible experience but probably shoulda been a little more active, maybe going outside or switching the setting up at least)
Another time was with my ex, towards the beginning of our eventual break-up, at her friends house where I'd never been before... and they ate them an hour or two before I did, so we were at different stages of the trip... and I'll never know for sure I guess but towards the end of my trip (they were "back down") I remember them getting in to an argument and her friend went upstairs and was crying/yelling in frustration.
Last bad trip was at my house with a few good friends, but not all of them were tripping and somehow it turned in to "Hey, so and so called and wants to know if they can stop by.... Okay? Great, oh, and theres a few other people who are gonna come too, but they're cool..." (right as the shrooms started to kick in)
All 3 of those trips I came back ultimately feeling better and like I had a better understanding of my life and life in general, and they all led to me making changes that have had a VERY positive effect on all aspects of my life.
The best trips I've had were either by myself at home, or with one of my best friends at his house, sitting outside, listening to music, looking at the plants and trees and even just the lawn, and the time with my friend at his house we sat outside listening to music looking at the stars, watching satellites pass overhead... all VERY enjoyable experiences though even the bad trips left me feeling like a million bucks and more confident about myself, my life, and some of the bigger decisions I was in the process of making.
The last time I tripped was with the girl I was with and we basically had sex the entire time, it was a very enjoyable and intense experience but I didn't feel like the trip had the same positive effect as the other ones. Good times though none the less.
From my own experience and the experiences of the people I've tripped with I can completely agree with the article (which was very good btw), I recommend shrooms to anyone who is mentally stable and curious and who's willing and able to let go of themselves (ego) and flow with it... trying to fight it and cling to "reality" seems to make the trip go bad, though as I said even the bad trips had a positive impact on my life.
Sorry for the long post, I just really love shrooms and wish I had easier access to them...

I believe it.
I'd be a shitty person if I never used mushrooms.
Mushrooms made me a better person, for sure!

totally hated shrooms and lsd....
tried both a handfull of times.....was funny for a min., .....but not the rest of it.
pretty much just made me feel like i didn't have control of my mind.
...ended up every time trying to sleep it off...and smokin tons of weed to calm my ass down.
....spent a cpl times locking myself in the closet literally....just wanted to be left alone.
....been over 15 yrs since i even seen that shit......you all can have it

LOL funny enough I'm sorta with you guys too
This last one was my last. I'm pretty sure I'll never touch them again, but it was one of the greatest things thats ever happened to me.
I tried sleeping off that last one, but there is no sleeping when that shit has you by the balls. Every minute feels like an hour.
I tried to listen to Joanna Newsom. I used to like stuff like that. It didn't mix with the trip, and I've never been able to listen to her again.
I tried to smoke a cigarette, and it looked like it was fanned out in front of me, with multiple 1- dimentional cigarettes making the fan, and wayyy too long.
I had a vision of god as a sphere that I cannot enter. That nobody can enter. It hated me and it was the first time I've really been afraid of dying.
I started to listen to Dark Side of the Moon and it scared the shit out of me! For the first half of the album I was just terrified. It was so depressing, but by the end of it I felt like I was conquering the trip.
I started seeing rainbows and realized we're all the same. Just white light filtered through a prism. What is god if we're all the same?
I ALWAYS have a bad trip. But by the end I always feel enlightened, and it definitely has changed my attitude about life.
Sorry this is so long lol I just feel compelled to share.

mushrooms can show you heaven...
and they can also show you hell.
they say that changes can happen on a personality
I wonder if negative effects can happen, scarring a person (effecting for a long time)
I imagine they heigthen the sensitivity/openness of the person
cutting all barriers
if one was tortured under the effects of a psychedelic, probably effects would be much greater/longer lasting
since psychedellics amplify feelings

psychedelics should be approached as an experience, not just some way to get fuXX0r.
Ingenious shamans go though the entire ritual of fasting, gathering the ingredients, preparing them, and finally 'talking to gods / altering their consciousness'. It is about the ritual, and the exploration of your mind; you have a task to do during the 'trip'.
They do 'superman' doses multiple nights in a row. That would alter anyones view of the world.
Im not rallying against a 21th century shaman (a shroomdr if you will), im just against not respecting it, and not using it for benefit.
Thats the point of doing them.
They are not for everybody.

ya they can make a change...................a change for the better,they show u life.
They were the best high I ever had, better than LSD for sure. Not for everyone though, kinda like surfing. You are outside yourself looking in, the perspective change can remain with you for life. If you want insight, change etc. from them, do as the shamans do and take them seriously.
I will not do them again as weed does everything I need and they are a little risky mentally, also the 6-8 hours needed. A felony too if I recall right. There are sativas out there that will get you close to a shroom experience.

When i was younger and careless age 16-20 .My friends and i used to partake.At this age i look back,and realize we didn't really have respect for these substances at all really.Had some good times,ill remember forever ,but also 2-3 really bad trips i remember well.This scared me away from age 20-36.
The bad ones always started after taking it .Then making the mistake of smoking cannabis.Sitting on the edge of a friends swimming pool ,after taking a few hits of skunk out of a bowl.My vision was tearing in all directions.Trees falling down,i look at one friend in the eye,Out of the corner of my eye,the friend next to him,looks like a moving pile of scribbles.I was pretty freaked,,,that sucked
Another time in my room alone,i take a hit of cannabis.And all the pictures on the wall ,and everything in front of me ,Moves in a circle then stops,moves in a circle then stops...for 8 hrs..I almost went in and woke my pops up for that one,just laid their and closed my eyes...I learned my lesson ..well sorta...Cannabis and these items do not mix for me....Their definity not for everybody,but being happy and in a good frame mind makes all the difference..

my last time doing mushrooms was in thailand, beautifull scenery with a view over the ocean. i was gettign my ass handed to me, getting paranoid as fuck, started sweating and i thought i was gonna die. my whole sense of selve was dissolving and i was freaking out .eventually i just gave up and i experienced a deep sense of peace and perfection all around me. i could see the perfection in everything and my mind went totally quiet. it was awesome! i felt really happy and peacefull for days afterwards. this experience got me into meditation and chasing this state without the use of drugs. some say its our basic nature and its just covered up with bullshit thoughts and feelings that can be cleared out.
the best part of the trip was when early at night the mushroom bar closed and they threw us all out. we were beyond the peak but still tripping balls and were racing on motobikes through the jungle, with a shitty road, no helmets or anything. totally stupid but so much fun xD
