It is very difficult to OD on any pure hallucinogen (Shrooms, LSD, Peyote, etc) because they have such a high ratio of lethal dose to effective dose (obviously an arbitrary assignment). FOr instance that ratio is very low for alcohol. The difference between taking the effective dose and lethal dose is small. (And we're assuming for every drug the lethal dose is always LARGER than the effective dose! lol) . There is not a relatively large change in the volume of alcohol it takes to get you intoxicated, and what it takes to kill you. Of course the window b.t the effective and lethal doses of c oke, heroine, and meth are not far from alcoholol's; and caffeine is w/them as well (HS football deaths from taking ECA's? Not just ephedrine, sometimes 200mg of caffeine; effects very similiar).

But shrooms were waaaay up there. You would have to ingest concentrated psilocybe syrup to induce what ever mechanism could possibly kill you at the lethal dose (shock, heartattack, stroke, climbing into a blender, etc), but they decided it was x amount that would kill you (obviously an estimate, b.c of lack of documented deaths from shrooms alone-always w/something else determined to be c.o.d.). I'll post a link, or at least a .doc tomorrow night (sure I have a copy at home; stuck at work now).

But anyways, I've eaten as many big, golden, freshly picked, gateways as I could literally stomach- until physically full! The "worst case scenario" is you blackout (complete memory loss) for a day or more. I mean, aside from dehydrating, or doing something stupid like tackling cars on the interstate. We were lucky- just spent a memorable day and a half in a creek bed. Just make sure things are right in your life b.f you take the plunge. Otherwise just hold your face up to the saran wrap on the pool (like jello), dip in and look around through the window; until later, when it is safer to swim.

Of course more generally, if you are asking if eating the entire lot will result in an overdose, as in "undesired effects from large dose"; yeah, probably (that can happen any trip). I say go for it, so long as your set and setting are well defined.
2600 Reviewed by 2600 on . Bad Idea? Alright I have this buddy who wants to eat a quater of some very strong magic shrooms.... I think that a quater is a little too much. But he is bone headed. What do you guys think? :confused: Rating: 5
