Every single year few dudes OC on this shit because they picked too young / too old / bad type of mushroom and die.
You know there are 9999 safer and more consistent drugs, why do you pick some random shrooms? Are you poor or just bored?
And yes, every single psychedelic drug can sltrigger mental disorder. You have to be kinda unlucky for it to happen, but the possibility is always there.

Are you buying them from someone you know or are you finding them inna woods?

Shrooms are pretty safe generally speaking.
Only real risks are, inherent schizophrenia risk (which would likely be happening anyway since it causes latent schizophrenia to emerge, rather than causing it in someone) which is a small risk, really.
The other risk would be they're not the right shrooms, or they're contaminated e.g. the growing medium had some kind of bad poisonous fungus or bacteria in it and it poisons the shrooms.
Most likely you're fine. Anecdotally speaking, I've never had bad street shrooms nor have any of my friends, but they all looked right, were nice and dry, etc.
Honestly, I don't think it's the most worthwhile thing to be doing - tripping on psychedelics. I've been done with it for years, ever since I graduated form university.
Just remember that you're just fucking with your brain using chemicals, any insights you have are 100% bullshit on psychedelics, and probably don't do them very often.

Shrooms are the safest recreational drug you can consume, so long as you trust the source. You definitely dont want to go hunting for them because it takes an expert to know which types of shrooms to pick. You can easily mistake one type of mushroom for another simply because they look exactly alike. Good luck finding a dealer, but if you do find one the chances of him giving you something other than shrooms are real slim. You might get shorted though. Imo the best way to get them is to grow them. Takes nothing more than an hour or 2 of internet research, it's safe, fun, easy, hideable if you live with people, and you'll get more shrooms than you'll ever need. As far as the mental illness I would start with a low dose. Maybe a gram or less. Sounds like a very low risk for you to develop schizo but you're gonna wanna do your own research on that and come to your own conclusion. It's been known to happen to those who have a serious history of mental illness in their family

I did them with a gf once and she had a psychotic episode in which she cried in terror and pissed herself. We never did them again. She had schizophrenia in her family history too. Be careful OP, I’m not kidding here.
Robert Ross
A psychotic episode lasts a whole lot longer than a night - what your gf had was just a bad trip, she couldn't handle her shit.
A psychotic episode is like, a month long sort of ordeal, or longer, typically speaking. I would know because I've had one happen. Forced sleep deprivation will make anyone go psychotic if it lasts long enough.
Also, psychosis is way more intense than tripping on drugs, desu.
Asher Hernandez
I did them once and had a bad trip, but that bad trip was probably the single most psychologically helpful thing that had happened to me in years. After being face to face with the fears that my mind let loose created, I was able to understand what I was afraid of and find ways to deal with it.

Your one experience does not represent everybody user. My partner had a psychotic episode once due to drug use and sleep deprivation and this lasted around a day, until he had the opportunity to sleep properly and recover.
I have no experience of this but he advises me you cannot overdose on them, although your response to them is somewhat unpredictable as it effects each person differently. Just follow the other suggestions in this thread.
Adrian Turner
They are very very safe as a drug. You definitely shouldn't be one of those retards who go out in the forest and try to find your own. Just grow them or find a good drug dealer.
Dylan Peterson
I did shrooms twice and didn't really enjoy the experience. Everyone is different though
Jeremiah Howard
Psychedelics don't cause serious mental problems like schizophrenia. But if you already have schizophrenia, they can bring them out earlier
Dominic Nguyen
My mother's schizophrenic, I've done mushrooms many times as well as other psychedelics (at least over 50+ trips taken in my life).
I show symptoms on the schizophrenic spectrum (diagnosed schizoid), and these experiences have never pushed me over the edge into seeing or hearing things while sober.
I'm also in my mid twenties, so I would have started showing symptoms by now.
But everyone's different, and it's a risk you take.
Chances are if a psychedelic experience would trigger the symptoms of schizophrenia; you would have started showing symptoms eventually anyways.
Josiah Lewis
I never said one experience represents everyone. In fact my psychosis lasted less than a month ultimately. It helps that it was sleep-deprivation induced.
>My partner had a psychotic episode once due to drug use and sleep deprivation and this lasted around a day
Yes, that's called BEING ON FUCKING DRUGS you idiot.

You're pretty much saying this guys girlfriend didn't have a psychotic episode because it didn't last a similar amount of time to your own. I'm merely saying that it could well have been that and your experiences don't qualify you to gauge this.
Nice attempt at an insult though lad. You thoroughly called me out there.
Levi Young
Yeah like everyone else said, as long as you're not just running out on the forest picking what looks like psilocybin mushrooms then there's no real risk.
Just be mindful of your dosage and that caps are more potent than stems. Also take your set and setting into account like with any other psych drugs or any first-time drug experiences. Be in your happy place, both physically and mentally.
shrooms were actually the first drug I ever did, years before I started smoking weed and to this day they're still my most favorite drug. sucks that I can only get some like once every handful of years.
Cooper Stewart
my grandmother on my fathers side was schizophrenic and I've done LSD, 25-NBome, Shrooms, and Salvia. I've had no problems in that department, but they will fuck your brain up a bit.

you'll lose all your sanity points and go irreversibly insane, don't do it
