Magic Mushrooms


Magic mushrooms sounded yummy. Not until I realised what they really were. Interesting… they are illegal and have said to be deadly drugs.

If one were to consume magic mushrooms, they would experience many different kinds of emotions such as hallucinations, anxiety, panic and even schizophrenia. The cringe! It also gives the consumer feelings of euphoria; which is probably the main reason why people consume it. And I figure these people are usually those emo emo ones; feeling oh-so-depressed that magic mushrooms can make them feel happier even if it was only for 4 hours. Geez…

However, there are people who claim that the consumption of magic mushrooms are spiritually significant. Wow…

I must admit that this entry is rather redundant but I guess a little side information wouldn’t hurt. Fine, let me entertain you readers (whoever you may be) with a magic mushroom poem… (:

Magic mushrooms take me high
Eating them allows me to fly
The emotions they give I can’t deny
Magic mushrooms you’d love to try
Here, take a little, take some of mine
Enter a world where everything’s a lie
Enter a place where no one is shy
Enter a place where no one asks why
Magic mushrooms in a pie
Something so special, so hard to buy
Excessive consumption- and you would die
But who cares? Who gives a damn?
Magic mushrooms you can’t deny

hehe thats a really sweet poem! - i really enjoy the line "magic mushrooms in a pie/Something so special, so hard to buy"

Though I feel I should point out that Magic Mushrooms really aren't physically toxic or deadly - as far as research has shown in the past 20 or so years, no one has actually died of an overdose. Though that having been said, people have died because of doing stupid things while on them. Really the biggest risks with taking them are a) they actually aren't the type of mushroom they are identified as and could actually be very very poisonous species, b) the person consuming them has a pre-existing mental condition such as schizophrenia or depression and c) they can lead to some traumatizing experiences if taken in the wrong setting slash under unpleasant circumstances.
I think some people really do find mushroom experiences very significant. They have the potential to alter the user's perceptions in a way that is impossible to imagine before having tried it. Experiencing a complete change in the idea of "reality" is something that some people find intellectually or even spiritually ... stimulating. So for many advocates of "mushing" its really not about euphoria but about thinking about life and relationships in strange and new ways.

On the other hand though, some kids just do it without thinking and have some awful experiences with lasting consequences.

Anyways, love your poems!
