Smoking mushrooms?

Well I kept sayin it was a waste but this weekend I watched a few friends grind up a bunch of them in an electric herb grinder and do bong hits with them. They seemed pretty tripped out and stuff but we were also all really stoned so I dont know. Guess I'll have to try it.

 

just eat 'em. there's no question whether or not they work that way

 

flame may or may not kill fungus. flame will kill bacteria though. they are not the same thing. fungi reproduce via spores that are pretty resilient. they can survive heat, drought, etc. the dried mushrooms that you eat are dead in a way, but with viable spores. the life in the mushroom doesn't determine if you trip. it's the level of 4-PO-DMT (psilocybin), 4-HO-DMT (psilocin), and baeocystine/nor-baeocystine(?).

 

I thought the psilocybin matabolized to psilocin in your digestive tract? Or maybe the other way around. That's what I based my 'smoking wont work' idea on. ...and that smoking shrooms just seems stupid and I've NEVER EVER fucking heard of it from anyone who knows what they're talking about.

 

it may work that way, but both are present in the mushroom itself

 

Why isn't it known for a fact? With science where it is today...

 

science like this isnt taught in schools, is only taught in colleges where people pay out the asshole to learn about something we should be learning for K through death..
nope instead we are brain washed to think that everything about mycology is evil cause magic mushrooms make you see things..
I would rather see things of my own desire than turn on the tv set and be force feed this fucking slop 24/4.. Things like Jerry Springer are the disease upon this nation and your mind..
Society really dont care how it pollutes our youth and our over all culture..
btw ellen comes on in 20 minutes,. Shell tell everyone how fucking drunk she was the other day diving down on some snatch.... < she might not say that,.. But your thinking it.

 

i don't believe there's any documented incidences of getting off while smoking psilocyban or psilocin. There are lots of rumors and sketchy tales. Also reliable friends in sketchy circumstances.

i've never tried Psilocybe but i have smoked Amanita Muscaria. It works! It is exactly the same as the oral dose i too, except it was a lighter experience and much shorter lasting.

 

I know it has been a while but I figured I would share with everyone that I have finally smoked mushrooms. Me and two friends bought 8 grams of shrooms. I decided to try smoking them so i ground up about 1.5 grams of them and did bong hits with it. For the first 40 or so minutes after smoking them I felt amazing. I did not have any open or closed eye visuals but everything around me just seemed to be more interesting. I was extremely happy as well. I am not sure if this was because of the actual mushrooms or if it was just a placebo effect. Anyways happy holidays.
PEACE

 

Huh interesting, like I said some of my friends said it worked too. Perhaps you're feeling some of the other psychoactive alkaloids when smoking it and not psilocybin so much, Also 1.5 g's is not that high of a dose.

 

Smoking them just seems like a waste to me.... it may get you tripping but then again so does eating them.

 

It is a waste, I certainly dont plan on starting to smoke shrooms but this is one of the first rumors I've heard about drugs so sparks my curiousity and its fact in my book now.

 

It's probably not pure psilocybin mushrooms, it's probably laced with something else or just not shrooms at all, who knows but if it's a proven fact you won't trip off smoking them then you probably aren't going to trip smoking them, that's just wasted supply and time if you ask me.

Ive never seen anywhere it posted as a proven fact, I know people in real life and now on here that have done it, all reporting a certain psychoactivity.

I highly doubt its laced mushrooms. Mushrooms contain many various alkaloids (stuff that gets you high) other than psilocybin, so even if the psilocybin breaks down somewhat its very possible and even probable based on reports that another psychoactive alkaloid does not.

 

That's interesting, I had not considered the other chemicals at the moment I was thinking about that, perhaps it depends on how you smoke or maybe you need to ghost it to absorb the chemicals.

 

maybe a dumb question but, how do you "ghost" something?

 

"Ghost" means to hold in smoke until it completely condenses in your lungs so you don't see anything when you exhale.

A friend of mine told he his uncle smoked shrooms while tripping and it worked. I tried it a while later while I was growing and it didn't work for me...nothing beyond placebo at least.

However, I was listening to Terence Mckenna talk about dmt and how some people smoke phalaris extract with a MAOI-A or RIMA like syrian rue or banisteriopsis caapi, and got good effects. He claims you can smoke mushrooms like this too.

I also have learned since then that psilocin acts as a RIMA, so your friend may have been still experiencing MAO inhibition from the mushrooms a few days before, and thus felt a greater amount of effects from smoking.

I might try it on ayahuasca or if some rue fell into my hands but I agree with everyone else that its ineffecient and just not worth it when you can eat them. Much healthier too. Maybe it would be good to quickly kick your trip up a notch whilst already tripping.

 

Agreed, it sounds more useful to smoke the mushrooms only if you are already tripping.

 

IT DON"T WORK!

Search the archives. 3, 4 years ago I tested raw material, psilocybin, and converted psilocyn. The results were meticulously reported here. No go.
Destruction comes before vaporization. You want to smoke it, rip it apart and smoke the DMT left over.

Better yet, get some peyote and smoke that!

 

how bout you link us to the archives saying smoking mushrooms is not psychoactive. Burden of proof rests on the prosecutor.
