What's worse for you, Shrooms or Alcohol.

well obviously this poll is going to be biased...its a psychedelic forum...

 

whats the point of doing that.... almost all people are not alcoholics and maybe drink on weekends, you're comparing the small % of alcoholics and what negative effects they experience to what people who use shrooms moderately experience

 

And I said specifically drinking to the point where you are DRUNK, not just moderate use where you have 2 or 3 beers in a night.

 

have you ever heard of the aztecs? they had to kill a human being once a day for the sun to rise....and they were tripping their heads off.

 

If i did mushrooms as much as i drank, i think i would be in rough shape.

 

people are being biased

ALCOHOL
Causes brain damage if used frequently
Slowly does liver damage not a problem unless your a heavy drinker if your a light drinker don't expect problems till 55+
Alchohol slowly causes ulcers,throat,and intestin problems
Risks while intoxicated include: Driving,acting stupid,doing stuff you normally wouldn't,violence, and you can overdose.
*Remember most of alchohols problems don't affect you till your older unless you drink everyday

SHROOMS
Shrooms are just as bad as alchohol. If you do shrooms once a month or more often it will start to affect your mental stability. You can lie to yourself and say no but trust me after doing a lot of psychedelics you start to change mentally maybe act diffrent,perception changes,change in beliefs, act slower and shrooms do cause flashbacks.

Also if you do a high dose of shrooms very bad things can happen. At high doses you can look at a car and think it's something else like something weird that does not exist kinda hard to explain but you can do weird things like walking up and talking to cars or thinking gremlins are after you. Crazy stuff can happen when you trip hard.

Oh and if your talking everyday use alcohol will mess you up but not near as much as if you did shrooms even every 3 days. Cus if you were doing shrooms every 3 days after 1 year your mind would be somewhere else even when you were sober you'd probaly go insane. Once of my 2nd cousins did to much shrooms and acid so his tolerance was crazy so one day he took 7 tabs of acid and ended up walking around town saying he was jesus and the cops took him to a mental hospital for 1 year and he talks funny and stuff now. Basically alcohol you have 5 years if you get drunk every night and shrooms and acid perhaps 2 years.

 

good job, but i think if you get drunk everyday for a year you'll be pretty messed up, and lsd everyday? you wont know what is real and what isnt anymore, you'll have basically induced schizophrenia on yourself

 

I knew a guy that chugged hard liqour for five years before his liver was fucked to hell and he talked funny and acted slow after that and died 2 more years later of a stroke he was like 47. So yes alchohol does mess you up but you can still live a while on it cus that guy been drinking since he was a kid he just didn't heavy drink till he was 40 cus his wife died.

 

allz I knowz is best choice is Shroomz and Alchoholz. BARF!! haha

 

Did you or anyone else ever see the Aztec's sacrifice anybody? The modern day interpretations of Aztec art are put through the filter's of contemporary living, and I wouldn't place to much faith into that

 

the real question is why is alcohol legal and and shrooms are not? and cigs are legal and weed is not? and its ok for the government/drug comp. to use cocain and meth but for a regular person in this so called free country they get thrown away......

fuck freedom right....

 

bad trip is worse than alc
good trip is better than not doin drugs
this is all my opinion of course

 

all of this is comparative to different scenarios but in my opinion proper respect and moderation for any substance is almost always safer than abuse and disrespect for even safe substances. both drugs can be harmful and different ppl will react differently to both personally i find the mushroom experience if used with respect to be far more rewarding than anything alcohol could ever produce, also alcohol has a far greater tendacy to be used regularly than mushrooms, ive never heard of anybody ever using mushrooms everyday for 5, 10, 20 years strait. simply have enough willpower knowledge and respect to use these drugs safe and responsibly and u should be allright

 

No doubt that we view their intentions through a modern filter, but yes, other people did see the sacrifices, namely Spanish explorers; there are also second-hand accounts-- tales from the natives told to Spanish friars, who in turn wrote the accounts down. Not that a bunch of conquest-driven bullies can necessarily be trusted to give accurate accounts...
However, excavation of the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan and the Pyramid of the Moon provided physical evidence in the form of... well... piles of corpses.

As far as mushrooms go... I found this on wikipedia: "the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, a branch of the Center for Disease Control, rated psilocybin less toxic than Aspirin."

That being said, in rats the toxicity of alcohol vs. pure psilocybin:
Oral LD50 is 10,600 mg/kg for Alcohol
Oral LD50 is 280 mg/kg for Psilocybin


LD50 means: Lethal dose for 50% of the test population. You'll see that the the number is lower for Psilocybin, so technically it is more toxic in a milligram by milligram comparison. However, that isn't the most practical way to compare the two, since death by mushrooms is unheard of at recreational levels. I can't say the same for alcohol.

 

For me shrooms and alcohol are opposites. Alcohol suppresses problems. Shrooms bring problems to the surface. I used to get drunk everyday, but decided to stop after a shroom trip, because I saw how it was effecting my life. I'm more into art and music instead of drinking now. I'm not saying psilocybin is good for you. It's a powerful drug that shouldn't be taken lightly, but the impact it's had on me has been positive unlike alcohol. Just my experience.

 

i'm in here to just say lawl at the question.

common sense kid, got it?

 

shrooms! no doubt, it fucks with ur brain, its more risky than alcohol.... people can control themself a lot better on alcohol than shrooms. shrooms can b good or bad but either way it fucks with ur brain. alcohol doesnt really fuck with ur brain, but it fucks up ur liver and ur coordination so if ur smart enough to not do anything dumb, like drive than ur good.... with shrooms u just never know it can be very rewarding or very life changing in an unwanted way

 

Simply don't do either to the point where you feel it is unhealthy. That's how I look at it.

 

Mentally or physically, and long term or short term

 

if we only want to talk about moderate usage,
alcohol moderate usage has a decent chance of ruining your liver when you are old.
shrooms moderate usage(which is a lot less per month/year/week/whatever than alcohol moderate usage) will lead to, well nothing really.

you can decide for yourself...
