It doesn't take you into a different dimension like LSD, but it's still pretty trippy. Literally everything is funny, and if you eat enough, reality can get pretty distorted.

I've never done anything reality distorting. Sounds interesting. My former drug of choice was alcohol, and it just sucks.

I wouldn't be tempted. The legality of a drug doesn't play a part in my reasoning for choosing to use a certain drug. I'm more concerned with the chances of addiction, how much money im gonna blow on that certain drug, how im gonna act when on a certain drug, etc. If heroin became legal I wouldn't be itching to try it all of a sudden. I probably only would have taken legality into consideration when i was in early high school and I was still like OMG WEED IS ILLEGAL AND BAD.

I was supposed to do them this past weekend, but my supplier ran into the law : (
However, the first time I tried them, I didn't take enough to get the trip O wanted to. I was happy though, the happiest I had been in a long time. As FaSho said, everything is funny. I laughed at my dog for a while, no idea why. There were a couple of hallucinations, but they happened because I was trying to make them happen, if that makes sense. It wasn't that intense though, which dissapointed me. I did only take like one gram, and I barely chewed it, which I now know that you should chew for as long as you can.

Back to the addiction topic though, it's one of my least favorite topics to talke about with Adults, in real life at least. Everytime this discussion has stirred up with my teachers, they always tell me that Marijuana is highly addictive, and proof is in the Rehab Centers, which I'm not sure but I think 70% is for Marijuana. They actually think that all of them are addicted, it's ridiculous.

Just curious, anyone actually think there is hope for the legalization of Marijuana in the U.S? In this lifetime?

For me shrooms are pretty intense. Usually because I've always taken large quantities of them. I've noticed differences among strains, but generally The OEVs (open eye visuals) usually consist of colors and lights being exceptionally vivid, with lights having halos and noticeably intense contrast. Textures are sharp and more contrasted, emphasizing any isolated spots or particles of dirt or otherwise, resulting in an uncomfortable perspective of the cleanliness of bathrooms...
In high dosages, CEVs (closed eye visuals) manifest themselves also as OEVs and usually appear as colored patterns overlaid on the visual field and who's opacity increase when you shut your eyes.
MVs (what I personally call "mental visuals") are the most profound of the visuals and occur within the minds eye. These feel, more than look, like something, but augment things you actually see, almost to a point that they're visible. As a result of them being more bound to your personal subconscious, their form will be varied among users, but my personal experience is generally that rooms become cavernous, pairs of round objects feel overwhelmingly like watching eyes, moving through a dimly lit area feels like being flanked by ghosts of smoothly moving lions or other animal wonders made of color and/or light, and my arms always seem uncomfortably organic.
Audio effects include heightened sense of detail and spaciousness, but I don't get any kind of added context that I'd get with acid or weed, and certainly not the level of euphoria and intense dramatic context that comes with music while on ecstasy. But music is certainly more interesting for what is brought out in the way that it is.
Mentally, the effects of shrooms are very pronounced. This effect will vary depending on the person and how much they've done it. My first few trips were nothing but laughter, but eventually I began focusing on different aspects of the trip and finding new significances that changed the way my trips represented themselves. This isn't a bad thing if you don't get into the habit of focusing on negative things, which can be hard to do in unsupportive environments.
But overall, the mental aspect is what you take away from the trip, and whatever its nature, it tends to be the most profound. Unfortunately, it's also the one thing you can't really prepare for via someone else's portrayal of it, so the only way to really find out where it sits with you is to experience your version of it yourself.
In no way do I think this fact should be a deterrent. If anything, I think it should add to the appeal of the personal aspects of your trip that you can call your own, provided you're ok with what you find yourself confronted with.

Thanks guys, that's interesting stuff. I doubt I'll try shrooms any time soon but I have always been curious about the trippy stuff like that. I once went about 80 hours without sleep and I remember the hallucinations starting to happen. It freaked me out

What the fuhhhh, I went one night without sleep and could hardly function. Felt like a total zombie.

The worst part of staying up that late isn't so much the mental exhaustion, which I can usually handle, it's the physical stress that puts on your body. Really severe heartburn and general aches usually for me, and a general discomfort and unease. Also, super greasy and oily skin, you feel kinda gross.

But it's just a crazy ass thing to do with your friends if they're staying with you. You go through phases of uninhibited laughter for no reason and general weirdness. Its funnest remembering the stupid and weird things you did after you finally get your mind back. It's a bit like being a schizo for a few days.

So what we can read from this is that if we must have prohibition on drug use, we should extend it to include staying awake for long.
