Side effects - If I Have Panic Attacks on Cannabis, Are Mushrooms a Good Idea?

[dchoss]

During the summer I smoked weed (another name for cannabis) about every other day. At the end of summer I had some bad things happen that put me into a lot of stress and depression. Smoking Cannabis after that was fine, just like it was before, fun and relaxing. After a few of my friends told me about some extreme panic attacks they had while smoking, the next time I smoked I expierenced one. I kept convincing my self that I was going to die, I could not stop shaking and felt really cold. I kept asking my cousin if it felt like my heart was beating too fast.

Now my friends want me to try Shrooms for the first time at the end of this week. Im excited because I really want to try them and see what it's like! I've heard so many good and fun stories about the tripping involved with mushrooms. But I am also nervouse because of the bad trips I have read about, they sound a lot scarrier then having a bad expieriance on weed. A lot of times if I smoke with people that are too like hyper or agressive I start to panic after smoking weed. I have learned to calm myself down my mentally saying, "No one dies from weed, its all in my head, this is only happening because I am thinking and worrying about it." I have been researching alot about Magic Mushrooms so I know what to expect and the risks involved.

I do not know much about the Magic Mushrooms we are going to get, I know he has been getting them from the same person every week when he has done them, and he has been having lots of fun. The only drugs I have done are Cannabis, Uppers (Ridalin, Aderal etc. but no coke or meth etc.) Opiates such as Loratab, Vicodin, Percaset. and Alcohol.

I plan on eating 1-2 grams worth, and I have been doing methods as "Packing" looking at good images and trying not to get upset or stressed, and fasting with only eating light foods and water. I know worrying about having a bad trip will only increase the chance of actually having one after eating the mushrooms. So I am avoiding that.

I know this is the perfect place to ask for advice from expierianced Magic Mushroom users. So any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated.
