Accepted Answer

Magic mushrooms: Magic mushrooms is the name given to the mushroom psilocybe group.

Question 7

magic mushrooms and aleve, (naproxen) is it bad to mix the 2?

Accepted Answer

Forget the naproxen: The danger is in the 'magic mushrooms.'  there is nothing magic about them, and the reality is that you have really no way to know what you are getting.  If pure psilocybin/psilocin, there are still 'bad trips' from them. But they may really by pcp or amphetamine-based drugs like ecstasy, which can have very serious problems. At 46 you aren't a kid - high pulse with these drugs not good for heart.

Best to: ask your pharmacist or better yet, don't do it.

Question 9

advice? would there be any dangers taking magic mushrooms and aleve (naproxen) painkillers?

Accepted Answer

How about putting: Away the toys, at your age.  Psychedelic drugs, including psilocybin/psilocin get more toxic as we get older, because they can greatly increase heart rate and stress the cardiovascular system.  There are no known interactions between Naproxen and any psychedelic.  I think you need to consider whether drugs are a problem for you, and if you need help dealing with them.

Question 10

are magic mushrooms bad?

Accepted Answer

Definitions: Is question about psylocibin, hallucinogenic mushrooms, or did you read "Alice in Wonderland" about the mushrooms which could change her size?  Realistically, why are you evaluating recreational drugs, and what goal do you have?  A little advice, your life will be far more productive and stable if you avoid drug usage as much as possible, and encourage family and companions to do same.
