Effects - Varying Mushroom Effects in Different People

[cfb1]

Someone please explain:

SWIM recently purchased some shrooms from the local mycologist and tested them with the courier, an acquintance. This would be Courier's first time shrooming and with a remarkably blank look on his face 4 hours later said: "that was fucked up." When poked and prodded by the local inquisition, aka: purchaser, the drawn out response was: "I didn't think about much of anything, it just felt like my mind was kind of open, but nothing really happened, I just sat there and kind of felt good, like a lot of Vicodin."

Now is it just this specific customer, or is this a waste of shrooms? Many other people he knows have this same attitude, and to me it doesn't make sense. To him, the point of shrooms was always the intense mental high. Thinking, or thinking in an alternate thought process, meditating, trying to reach other states of being or consciousness. The customer could go by pills and alcohol cheaper than shrooms.

Or is he just misguided. Is there a specific drugs for specific situations? Courier said he wanted to do them all the time but can't respond with anything more than a comparison to opiates.

Not that it matters in the grand scheme of life, but why would someone continue taking mushrooms if they can't, or won't, or are unwilling to, maximize their potential - which is great?
