Drug info - Fresh Mushrooms vs. Dried Mushrooms

[Metomni]

SWIM has had mushrooms countless times, but until now has never had the opportunity to consume fresh mushrooms. He has heard that there is an additional psychoactive chemical besides psilocybin in mushrooms that deteriorates and pretty much dissapears when the mushroom is dried.

SWIM is wondering if that other psychoactive chemical changes or alters the trip normal dried mushrooms grant. Does it make the trip more intense? Do you even notice a difference? Is it the same trip, just more intense?

SWIM would love it if the fresh mushrooms are going to be a new experience, but either way he believes they will be wonderful even if the other chemical holds no sway over the experience.

AS far as SWIM knows, there are only two active compounds in magic mushies: psilocybin and psilocin, and it wouldn't matter if psilocin wasn't present in swiyour mushrooms, because psilocybin is converted to psilocin in the body anyway. In fact, I think all of psilocybin's effects are actually just effects of the psilocin it is converted into.

The only difference is going to be the ingestion. SWIM has only ever had fresh mushrooms, which tasted HORRIBLE *gag* *choke* *puke* but they weren't hard to keep down

if one has dried available to him/her dont eat fresh! HORRIBLE. swim has had both and in fact the dried created a better trip. probably because swim was able to get down more. you may not realize but when shrooms are fresh they can be HUGE. and they taste like absolute poop. ha

SWIM realizes they can be quite large, but SWIM usually eats them with a meal anyway. Since he doesn't get hungry during his trips combined with the fact that he trips especially hard (10-12 hours with a good 3.5 grams) he figures it's always good to eat a hardy meal with the mushrooms since he is pretty small in figure and wants to stock up for the next 24 hours. It's always good to eat and drink water in SWIM's opinion, he feels if his body stays fresh and exhilirated and hydrated his mind will follow suite and it has never let him down.

SWIM believes mushrooms he has created will bestow greater experiences unto him than mushrooms he has no spiritual connection with. Sort of a payment SWIM supposes for making something of them from nothing.
