Magic mushrooms: risks and danger

Magic mushrooms can cause stomach pains, nausea and vomiting.

Bad 'trips' can happen, and you then need to wait till the effects wear off. Fruit juice might help wear off the effects. This is especially true when they are taken with other drugs, in huge doses, during times of mental instability, or by people with psychoemotional problems. In such situations, "bad trips" are much more likely to occur. Anxiety, frightening hallucinations, confronting (symbolically or literally) past or deep-seated internal conflicts, and feelings of permanent disconnection from reality and the Self can be quite intense and cause panic. The possibility of such experiences can be mitigated by being cognizant of one's "set and setting."

Like any hallucinogen, magic mushrooms can complicate existing mental problems.

Eating the wrong kind of mushrooms can cause serious health damage and even death.
