Serious question. Have any of you had any negative, long term effects from taking shrooms? (lemmy.world)

I haven't. Aside from the short term effect of having to sleep the whole next day after a trip, there isn't anything I can notice.

However, as my tolerance and experience grows I am finding that sleep is coming easier.

Not long term, but the two times I've done shrooms it just made me feel like I got hella drunk. No hallucinations, no groovy feelings, no sense of wonder... Just dizzy, nausea, and a general sense of numbness exactly the same as if I drank a whole 5th of Jack.

Odd. I have been catapulted in to several distant galaxies since this post and lived to tell the tale. Still, it affects different people in different ways. Having a fresh supply of "specialty" strains has provided its own unique benefits, for sure.

I know it couldn't have just been the stuff I had, since others took the same stuff and they describe having the kind of experience that led me to want to try them in the first place.

Weed has, so far, been the only narcotic I've taken that seems to affect me the same way as most people. But I'm not willing to try meth or crack until I am about to die. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It has been rumored that people that cannot easily visualize images in their head when sober won't get intense visuals when they trip. So, when I say "chair", can you visualize a "chair", or do you just think of the word "chair" in your head? So, depending on how your brain is wired it can take substantial amounts (5g or maybe even more) to get visuals and that is a trip that takes some serious practice to manage once that boundary is crossed. (Visuals are only one component to a trip and TBH, I have never heard of shrooms feeling like alcohol. Disorienting, sure. 5th of Jack disorienting is new to me.)

Weed makes me super paranoid these days. I love to grow it still and give it away when I do.

Also, crack and meth are just "dirty", IMHO. They basically leave you strung out and wanting more. It's not worth even trying, to be honest. I have tried them both and will never touch them again. Just don't, even on your death bed. 100% not worth.
