Life Changing Mindset

Thinking about doing shrooms, what are the positive and negative effects?

Also, if you've done them before, if you have any tips, any whatsoever, that would really help. I just want to know everything that I should possibly know before I try them. If you know of any detailed websites, please include them. All opinions and answers welcome. Thanks in advance! :)
Thanks for all the answers so far, and I'm really sorry if this sounds stupid, but is it possible to overdose on them? Can you die at all?

1. Positives- a great tripping high.
Negatives- loss of senses, dehydration.

Great stuff tho.

2. do it. it was a life changing experience.

my only suggestion is eat before you do them or put them on pizza, because when I tripped I had no appetite the entire 6-8 hours.

and yes they will dehydrate you so drink plenty of water too.

3. Expect a strong urge to kill yourself - you should have a friend with you just in case something like this goes on.
Someone I know who did them ended up getting arrested! So be careful. You don't wont that screwing up your record. My friend wasn't able to get a job because of it. So be careful, try not to go wandering around in public!

4. Have a sober friend with you the whole time. Shrooms last a long time, and you want someone making sure you don't trip balls and do something stupid. Don't go to any strange places, stay at home or at a friends house. Strange places can cause bad trips. They taste like crap too.Orange juice enhances the high (so I've heard.) Don't buy them from someone you don't know, they might either not be real or they might just be shrooms dipped in LSD.

5. go to erowid.com.

it's the best drug website i've found, and trust me...i spend a lot of time researching illegal narcotics.

a shroom trip comes and goes in waves...sometimes you'll roll around on the floor laughing, sometimes you be very introspective, sometimes you'll be anxious, sometimes you'll be overly confident.

make sure you're in a comfortable setting when you trip, and are around people you trust, and make sure you don't have to go anywhere. make sure you've got happy music, trippy movies (fantasia is awesome), and strobe lights. don't trip if you're in a bad mood...that's a guaranteed way to have a bad trip. shrooms (and most other hallucinogens) take the emotions you're feeling and run with em.

before i check out on a trip, i make sure to write in big black letters on a paper IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD! and sign it. that way i can remind myself it's all pretend if the trip starts getting dark.

you can overdose, psylocibin is a mild poison...but we're talking consuming a lot of shroomies. i would stick to less than 3.5 grams (1/8 of an ounce) for your first time.

to intensify your trip, drink orange juice...or anything with a high vitamin c content. to kill a trip, drink milk, or anything with vitamin d.

oh yeah, shrooms taste nasty. mix em up in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or something when you eat em.

6. Yes it is possible to overdose on them and you CAN die! I have done shrooms before so I am not saying don't do them, I am just giving you the facts. If you have the wrong kind (oh and just because you got them from a dealer doesn't mean they are they right kind, a dealer could give a shit about you and your health they just want money), and they are posionious you could die. But on the brightside here's what to watch for. If after you take them if within a half hour you don't pass out, you will be fine, because one of the symptoms of poisoning is passing out.

The BEST website for shrooms and all drugs is www.erowid.com
